WELCOME TO vitalite

VITALITE Zambia Limited is a Zambian registered company limited by shares (company registration #: 117930), founded in 2013. VITALITE was created to increase rural electrification and combat the poverty tax affecting low-income, energy-poor households across Zambia. Our stated mission is to make quality products and services accessible and affordable to all Zambian households. As a social enterprise, we reinvest a majority of our profits to achieve sustainability, grow our reach and ensure the fulfillment of our mission. We are proud to be the first to pioneer a fully integrated pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) service in Zambia. We aim to become Zambia’s leading asset financing company using modern mobile technology to provide consumer-financing solutions for solar energy and other productive products and services to low-income, indigent households. VITALITE positively contributes to the development of Zambia, and also includes the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Energy for All initiative and the Government of Zambia’s sustainable development policies in all its efforts. Our team believes the VITALITE way will transform the communities we work with by making previously inaccessible opportunities available to all Zambians.

"In a country where over 250,000 hectares of forest are exhausted to meet the demand for charcoal, Vitalite is doing its part to protect the environment and improve the general well-being of the underserved and rural communities with access to information and clean energy."

Our products

We offer a focused range of products to improve the lives of households in Zambia. Beginning with our standalone solar light and energy-efficient stoves, our company has since introduced the first Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Solar Home System in the country, making electricity affordable at much lower income levels.

Social Impact

VITALITE has been creating a positive change by lifting households across Zambia out of energy poverty. By improving access to energy, information has been made more accessible to every Zambian through children having more study time at night, charging phones to improve communication and televisions to watch the news and stay up to date with current affairs. The alternative power solutions we provide also reduce fire hazards and emission risks associated with the use of candles and kerosene lamps. In addition to these lifestyle impacts, productive use appliances can increase revenues of the households soas to create a livelihood impact.

From inception VITALITE has distributed over 60,000 solar home systems impacting 300,000+ households. Over the years we have empowered over 1,000 community agents who have earned an extra income through sales. We have created jobs across Zambia through our 39+ stores scattered across in all ten regions. We continue to strive and aim to make a difference in as many lives as we get the opportunity to.
