Zimbabweans are well aware of the ongoing energy challenges back home within Zimbabwe. Those living in urban areas face the daily challenge of an unreliable energy infrastructure, power outages and the need for back up generators and other alternatives to provide lighting and energy during such outages.
But for around 70 percent of Zimbabwe’s 16 million people life can be even more challenging. They live off grid in rural or peri-urban areas. They often rely on a mix of paraffin lamps, torches and candles for light, while powering mobile phones and staying connected with the outside world often means the daily expense of charging at the local village store.
Daily productivity is reduced and time is lost. In addition, the average rural household is estimated to spend USD300-400 per annum on lighting alternatives and phone charging. Planning and running daily life is challenging and costly within such an environment, both for households and small businesses.
Ultimately the challenge comes down to a matter of ‘energy security’. The ability of households and small businesses to acquire energy assets that will deliver a clean, reliable source of energy that will provide lighting and the connectivity to power their lives, save time and increase productivity.
The solution for millions can be found in a solar home energy system. These systems deliver the energy security that ensures lighting and power is available. A simple solution that offers multiple benefits. A solution that pays for itself over time both by delivering immediate cost savings and additional income opportunities in the form of a phone charging micro-business or the extension of trading hours for small businesses.
Solar home systems. Delivering energy security. Enhancing life.
TEAM KUMUSHA WORLD
KUMUSHA WORLD are delighted to welcome the legendary Comic Pastor (Mr Prosper Ngomashi), as our Brand Influencer!
Our marketing leader, Richard Gloster, said “we are really looking forward to working with Prosper. He brings a passion for helping to promote products and services which he believes can improve daily life for Zimbabweans.”
Prosper has a great ability to engage people with his humour while also communicating important messages around products and their benefits. He is a strong supporter of solar energy and the multiple benefits our solar home systems can offer.
We also know that Prosper has a strong following among both the UK-based diaspora and many Zimbabweans back home with diaspora connections. This is important for a business with our focus on the diaspora as ‘impact enablers’ with the ability to improve daily life back home.”
Prosper has recently been in Zimbabwe filming promotional content for us at ‘Kumusha Studios’, and on location. So watch out for his film clips and skits on his social media channels and via our own website and social channels.
Whether it’s powering a family home in the Kumusha lands, supporting a village community project or investing in a personal business, Prosper will explain how KUMUSHA WORLD provides the Zimbabwean diaspora with an efficient, reliable service for ordering solar energy products online for delivery across Zimbabwe.
Welcome!

Our Solar Home Systems – Products and Pricing in a volatile trading environment
18 March 2025
We operate in a particularly volatile global trading environment at the moment. This can impact both the availability of certain SHS products and their prices, which may fluctuate from time to time. You should keep this in mind when you are considering a purchase.
Our pricing can be impacted by a number of factors – the impact of tariffs elsewhere, general supplier costs, changing import duties and taxes within Zimbabwe, and of course any significant exchange rate fluctuations between the British Pound and the US Dollar.
Recent weakness in the US Dollar has enabled us to secure current stock at the prices you see today at launch. Product prices were likely to have been higher, as we indicated at the UK-Zimbabwe Expo in Birmingham last October.
In terms of the products, our strategic distribution partner in Zimbabwe is Kumusha Power. The market leading specialist in SHS distribution across Zimbabwe, having sold over 15,000 units since 2021. The product suppliers are d.light solar (American) and SPARK energy (European). Both are well established in the SHS sector of the solar energy market.
The products are shipped from China, with ‘indicative’ lead times of 6-8 weeks from order of a shipment. Therefore timely local product delivery within Zimbabwe relies on available warehouse stock in Harare. This in turn means that there are key logistical points at which fresh product shipments need to be ordered to replenish local stock levels. It is at this ordering stage when costs are determined by the key trading conditions at that time.
d.light Solar and SPARK energy are two of the leading suppliers of Solar Home Systems within Africa
The other point to consider is that technology advances and product development strategy will drive innovation. Just like the mobile phone market, new solar energy products will emerge, sometimes to replace established favourites. We believe the ‘core component set’ for all the current solar energy products is likely to remain consistent for some time. However, we plan to expand the range over time, and we are actively looking at new product options which could potentially be introduced through Kumusha World.
We hope this information will help you both with your current SHS purchase decisions and inform your understanding of any product and / or pricing changes you may see in the future.
If you have any questions about Kumusha World, or suggestions as to which products you would like to see made available in the future then simply drop us an email at info@kumushaworld.com – we look forward to hearing from you.

Launch of Kumusha World!

An ‘online product bridge’ between the UK-based Zimbabwean diaspora and their family, friends and personal business projects back home
We are delighted to announce that the Kumusha World online service is open for business as of today, 14 March. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you…
KUMUSHA W O R L D
Ordered here. Delivered there.
Kumusha World offers an ‘online product bridge’ between the UK-based Zimbabwean diaspora and their family, friends and personal business projects back home in Zimbabwe.
Founder and CEO, Geoff Goss explains the origin of the business, “we saw a clear disconnect between households back in Zimbabwe’s rural areas which are most in need of reliable solar energy, and those within the diaspora who can afford to purchase a solution to the challenge, such as Solar Home Systems (‘SHS’).
Many people living in rural, off-grid areas of Zimbabwe simply do not have the cash or access to credit to be able to buy these solar energy products.Yet we know that a typical rural household spends over USD300 a year on fossil fuel lighting options and mobile phone charging. Much of this annual outlay could be saved by acquiring a solar energy asset such as a Solar Home System. We also know that many rural households have a diaspora connection.
Our online platform connects those who can afford to make a difference with those who can’t. Go to our online shop, select your products and payment option, place your order, and our strategic partners will arrange your delivery to the specified address or collection centre. Simple.
We have launched with a focus on solar energy solutions, but in due course we intend to introduce a wider set of products, all selected to further enhance life in rural Zimbabwe.”
Our online shop can be found at www.kumushaworld.com
Our initial product range extends to Solar Home Systems (‘SHS’) from two leading product suppliers, d.light solar (American) and SPARK energy (European). These products are distributed across Zimbabwe by our strategic partner, Kumusha Power.

We encourage the diaspora to sign up for our newsletter so we can keep you informed of our latest news.
If you have any questions about Kumusha World, or suggestions as to which products you would like to see made available in the future then simply drop us an email at info@kumushaworld.com – we look forward to hearing from you.
Welcome to Kumusha World!
Kumusha World Team
The Kumusha World team reported strong interest in their exhibition stand at this Birmingham event. Expressions of ‘pre-order’ interest were noted from attendees with links across Zimbabwe. Products across the range were discussed, to suit family, friends and personal business projects.
The team noted that over 90 percent of visitors confirmed strong links to family back in their kumushas, while 70 percent were actively engaged in personal investment projects such as rural schools, medical clinics, community centres, small farms, property development and other business activities. Almost all of which required some form of energy solution.
Among the dignitaries to visit our stand was the Zimbabwe Ambassador to the UK, His Excellency Colonel (Retd) Christian Katsande, together with a number of Provincial Ministers. The stand also had a visit from Prosper Ngomashi, known to many Zimbabweans as ‘the Comic Pastor’.
