Jamila Mayanja, a social entrepreneur, is empowering young girls in Uganda by introducing solar-powered backpacks. These innovative backpacks provide a reliable source of light, enabling girls to safely study after dark and navigate their way to and from school. This initiative aims to improve educational outcomes for girls, particularly in rural areas where electricity is scarce. The initiative not only addresses safety concerns but also fosters a brighter future for the next generation.
