Walalma is a legitimate social impact project by Nadji.Bi Group (Senegal) delivering solar-powered services (milling, refrigeration) to rural off-grid communities. While the submission contains hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and low-quality data, independent verification confirms the existence of pilot hubs (e.g., in Loumatyr) supported by reputable partners like Efficiency for Access and GOGLA. The project has high real-world utility for rural women but is currently at a very early/pilot stage (<1,000 verifiable users) with minimal commercial scale compared to the 'Small but promising' calibration tier.
