From The Founder

Our Journey started here

Born in an Off-Grid village, always Kept asking “Where shall we be this time tomorrow?

In 2016 a young boy called Gibson Kawago was showing a wedding ceremony video to his grandmother from his mobile phone in Ibumila Village before the phone ran out of battery at the middle.

The village not being electrified, he had to travel 31 miles for recharging before coming back the following day to finish watching. On 14th February 2016, two days before his birthday the boy lost his beloved grandma.

Motivated by the loss and being passionate to save his village, the boy made a solar power bank out of trashed materials in his father’s garage. Being an environmentalist and circular economy enthusiast, he started making durable and affordable battery powered products from recycled lithium-ion batteries.

Having been working from his father’s garage that was the beginning of the “Wanted Garage” now known as WAGA.

"Lithium-Ion battery technology is very essential in all energy storage systems. From powering homes, devices, e-mobility, and space. Its time to invest and be ahead of the game."

What We Are Building Right Now

Lithium-Ion Battery Packs to power anything !

Lighting Local Businesses in Tanzania

We provide efficient PAWA Packs Mini with lanterns to help local business women and men conduct business at night.

We hire out a package of rechargeable PAWA Packs Mini with a lantern to locals in areas that have no access to the main electricity grid for 500 Tanzanian shillings (22 cents) each night, which is about the same as what it costs to keep a kerosene lamp running.

Lithium-Ion Battery Repurposing

We repurpose lithium-ion batteries from various devices such as laptops, pay-as-you-go systems, and electric vehicles.

By creating second-life battery packs, these batteries can be given a new lease on life and be used for a variety of applications that require power storage. These repurposed batteries can be configured to meet the specific capacity requirements of a particular device or system, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.

Powering Off-Grid Communities

We provide PAWA Packs capable of powering electrical devices from TVs, radios, mobile phones, and lights, recharged by solar panels. All are made from repurposed laptop batteries.

This solution offers immediate access to affordable, clean, and reliable electricity in places where grid or mini-grid connections aren’t economically or technically feasible yet.
