Solar power equipment

Dear Supporters,

We are happy to inform you that our project to equip Daktari’s Bush School with solar power has been completed.
With your help and another private sponsor we have been able to buy and install 3 solar fridges, 3 solar deep freezers and the equipment to run our office with solar energy.

This equipment has really made a huge difference to our running cost as we haven’t ordered any gas since the installation took place. This also allows us to reduce pollution and to educate our local children about this alternative source or power which hopefully will be available to them in the near future.

We thank you for your support toward our work and for your generous donation which has contributed to achieve the project.

Please feel free to contact us to let us know how you feel about the achievement you have been part of.

We will certainly need more batteries and solar equipment in the future and will, in time, offer you another green project to support through Global Giving. In the mean time you are more than welcome to help us with our on going project of covering the cost to welcome underprivileged children for a week of education about environment.

You can follow the links below if you would like to carry on supporting our work.

We wish you a happy Christmas with your friends and family and look forward to hear from you.


Ian and Michele

Solar power at Daktari

By Ian and Michele Merrifield - Sun at Daktari, July 24, 2009 02:04 PM

Dear All,

We hope you are enjoying your summer holiday. Although we are still having a cold winter here at Daktari, we are lucky enough to still have lots and lots of sun.
What a pity not being able yet to store all this energy given to us for free.
Our project to equip Daktari with Solar power to run the office and our refrigeration is still going on. We are waiting for some funds organised by a great supporter in the UK which should cover a fair amount of the equipment, but we know it won’t be enough to sponsor the whole project.

While you are probably protecting yourself from the hot sun during your holidays, think about us and how we could benefit from this clean energy.

Do not hesitate to top up with a little donation so we can reach our target. Remember our minimal donation is only 10 $ so let’s make a difference.

Have a lovely holiday.
Ian and Michele
