JA ECO COVER
JA ECO COVER produces Solar bags to support students living in the North challenged by electricity.TheBags aim to have Net zero emissions from the traditional lightning systems at rural areas
Our Solar lamp bags is solving the problem of inadequate learning hours for students in rural areas while ensuring this through Solar tech initiative to eradicate emissions from Traditional lighting systems such as candles and the bobo system which produces harmful smoke when in use. We realized over 40% of citizens living in the northern part of rural areas experience this. This reduces the students inability to learn further, also limits students from having access to Internet due to lack of electricity.
" Back in 2011, growing up in the village with my siblings was fun untill it got dark, we always struggled to study and complete late chores on time to get enough sleep. The Bobo system was what we normally used till it burnt our grandma's kitchen/Hut outside. This Bobo system or local lightning system is a challenge faced by 40% of Ghanaians living in the north especially students.
With our Solar light bags, we are reducing emissions from old traditional lighting systems .Clean Energy
Extending learning hours for quality education as part of our contribution to UN SDG Goal 4 ( Quality Education)
At JA Eco Cover, we now employ our youth in assembling these bags we sell on a b2c basis.
We connect portable solar panels to bags that charges during the day so students and individuals can now have extended learning hours with the fully charged bulb/ lamp powered by solar.
Access to Information, our solar bags can now charge students phones at night or during power outages to keep them actively focused on their research online for quality education.
Students and Youth in the rural areas specifically the Northern Part of Ghana, 60% of these townships in the North are yet to receive Power connections. These towns are also made of many public schools that has lots of students facing this challenge. Our bags now ensures continuity of their learning hours at night while offering them limited power to charge their phones to have access to daily or current information or research.
Based on feasibility studies from the North, my Team realized 3,600 students suffer this problem in the North and some of the team members like myself have faced this personally so we understand what it feels like and we attach that experience with our energy to change the narrative. Our Team is made up of bachelor/ degree graduates who are passionate about delivering harm free innovations to students in the Northern areas where there's no power. Based in the capital, our team members know the importance of light and access to internet in this modern Era and as such being fortunate to change the narrative from where we come from, we want to share the love back to our peers in the North.
Yes. Our Team had an intensive 6 weeks survey in the north studying 12 towns that do not have access to electricity. We stayed up late at night in these towns realizing this problem is still prevalent and there's more that needs to be done because education in the capital must not be different from education in the North.
- Improving learning opportunities and outcomes for learners across their lifetimes, from early childhood on (Learning)
- Pilot: An organization deploying a tested product, service, or business model in at least one community
Our solution simply provides a new approach to how students can have extended learning hours in towns that has no power, Electricity is a problem in the developing countries and as still remains a problem, we at JA Eco Cover will use our resources to Power the students and youth in these vulnerable townships to have quality education . When students have time to study and access to power smart phones for research, it broadens the general knowledge of students and always keeps them up in their studies to be better people in society
To power up 5000 students with our Solar bags to produce more intellects from the North too since access to education and information is available regardless of the circumstances and in doing this, we aim at reducing the traditional ways of lightning in the villages or rural areas by 60% at the end on 2023
We use Portable Solar panels connected to the bags which charges while students are in motion. Absorbing energy to promote clean energy
- Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
- Imaging and Sensor Technology
We are currently active in rolling out 5000 solar powered bags to 40 townships in the North

We operate a B2b mode by partnering heads of schools and Angel organizations to make purchases for schools in the NORTH.
To our students we are providing convenience in studies and access to power for information
