About
Jali Finance, based in Rwanda, is a non-deposit-taking financial institution focusing on leasing electric bikes.
Project Focus
Shell Foundation is supporting Jali to expand its footprint in Rwanda and demonstrate demand for clean-technology motorcycles in the country. This is being done by financing retrofit electric vehicle kits for existing internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles which, if proven, will pave the way for a faster transition to cleaner vehicles.
The project is also testing the financing of e-motorcycles with female drivers to strengthen gender equity among mobility solution providers.
