EP1: Omar Ghanem

On the first episode of "Up Next", I interview Omar Ghanem the CEO and Co-founder of U-light a social enterprise that provides a human-powered energy solution to energy-deprived communities in Nigeria. Omar explains the story behind U-light and how a bunch of 20 something-year-olds came up with an idea during their senior year in university that was pitched in front of the UN general assembly and nearly won them a million dollars while competing in the Hult Prize. This idea has now become a viable product that is changing lives in Nigeria. I hope you enjoy this episode and make sure to check out their site u-light.co and help change a life for less than 10$.
