Austrian Development Agency (ADA) supports commercial partnership in Ghana and Burkina Faso

Partnership ENTRI (Tritscher) – NORTHLITE (Adabre) – SUNNYBAG (Ponsold)

EnTri Consulting GmbH intends to create a commercial partnership together with the dynamic start-up company SunnyBAG (www.sunnybag.at), an innovative manufacturer of solar-bags from Graz/Austria, as well as NorthLite Solar Ltd. (www.northlitesolar.org), a leading private solar-company from Bolgatanga/Ghana.

Our common goal is to promote & strengthen micro-enterprises and socially disadvantaged households which will be equipped with handy and durable solar-chargers (developed in Austria) that enable them to
a) save mobile phone charging costs, and
b) generate own income.
