What we do

Power and intelligence for the places communities depend on

We combine solar power, battery backup and cold-chain protection with AI-driven booking and patient-flow tools, so clinics and businesses stay powered, vaccines stay safe, and daily operations run smoothly even in the face of climate and resource challenges.

The problem we solve

Six connected challenges decide whether you can keep the lights on

Whether a clinic can see patients, a shop can keep trading, or a workshop can finish the job comes down to these realities.

01

Unreliable electricity

Frequent outages disrupt lighting, equipment, and daily operations at clinics and businesses.
02

Cold-chain risk

Power gaps put vaccine refrigeration at risk, threatening doses meant for patients.
03

Access gaps

Distance and thin infrastructure make it hard for communities to reach reliable care.
04

Patient flow challenges

Manual scheduling and paper records slow down visits and strain busy staff.
05

Climate vulnerability

Extreme weather and climate shocks put pressure on already fragile health systems.
06

Maintenance & downtime

Limited local technical support means broken equipment stays out of service longer than it should.

Why Ubuntu AfyaLink

Built for real operating conditions

Practical, local, and integrated, so teams can adopt and scale without heavy overhead.

Energy and digital coordination in one platform, so power, cold chain and daily flow are managed together.

Local

Designed for African operating realities, installed and supported by local technical teams.

Practical

Built for real operating conditions, so teams can adopt and scale without heavy overhead.

Flexible financing

Energy-as-a-Service, partnerships and blended finance make adoption affordable from day one.

How it works

From site survey to reliable care in four steps

We stay with each site long after installation, so power, cold chain and operations keep improving.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Assess

    We measure your loads, outages, and operating costs with a site survey and energy audit.
  2. 2

    Step 2

    Install & finance

    We deploy the right system with flexible payment options, clear service terms and no hidden costs.
  3. 3

    Step 3

    Monitor & protect

    Remote monitoring tracks uptime and temperature, with real-time alerts to WhatsApp or SMS.
  4. 4

    Step 4

    Optimize

    We cut waste, flag leakage and strengthen your revenue and credit readiness.

Our impact

Measurable results for the places we power

Every installation and every booking is tracked, so partners and owners can see what changed.
