The Problem

  • 150+ blackouts in Yangon (2024)
  • 78% couldn’t charge phones during power cuts
  • 62% missed online classes or work
  • 20+ broken fitness machines in public spaces

Our Solution: PowerFit

We retrofit old gym machines with generators and batteries. When you exercise, you generate electricity — to charge phones, power Wi-Fi, or light up public spaces.

Each unit can charge 15–20 phones or run Wi-Fi for 8–10 hours.
