Case study
Pearl Entrepreneurs Academy (PEA) is a social enterprise working to improve access to energy in rural communities by replacing dangerous and expensive energy sources with their high-quality yet affordable products.
In 2019, PEA engaged BfE to help them track their impact and finances so that they can approach investors and donors with the right numbers.
