Lighting up in the deepest night... It is to meet this vital need that the LAGAZEL company was born. Two brothers, with very complementary profiles and temperaments, got together to manufacture innovative solutions for lighting Africa locally. Based in France, the company produces solar lamps, solar kits and collective charging stations in Burkina Faso and Benin to provide solutions for the 650 million Africans who live without reliable access to electricity. We are also present in other countries in the sub-region (Mali, Senegal, Niger, etc.) and work with various philanthropic organisations that distribute our equipment to those who need it.

What we can contribute

Product, service or intervention proposed

Lagazel offers solar solutions for off-grid energy access: solar lamps, solar kits and collective charging stations. These solutions are manufactured locally in our Burkinabe and Beninese workshops, according to high quality standards. Our products are certified by the World Bank's Lighting Global programme and are guaranteed for two years.
Among our range, we have developed the collective charging station. It allows 40 solar lamps to be charged simultaneously. Installed in a school, for example, it allows pupils to recharge their lamps during the day, and to have reliable lighting when they return home to study in the evening. They also have a positive incentive to return to school each day, as the lamp can only be recharged via the station. To understand this, we invite you to watch our video presentation at: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW4qAIwVGKU.

Wishing to be part of an in-depth partnership approach, it also offers support and even active participation in the management of the NGO's project, by making available its technical expertise, its network for the search for funding, its support for the drafting of various grant applications or for communication following the project.

Our expectations/interest in creating a partnership

As manufacturers, we wish to collaborate with NGOs that are able to act as intermediaries for the distribution of our solutions to the populations that need them. In this way, we wish to work in a win-win partnership to participate together in the reduction of energy insecurity in Africa. Within the framework of projects for access to education, health, or economic development, for example, carried out by NGOs, we wish to provide access to energy through our products.
