It's all Solar in Africa

By Tyrone | Lead

Family Solar Packs
Family Solar Packs

Hello Friends and Family!


Earlier this year we managed to put 20 schools onto Solar power, the feedback has been better than we could have imagined. While the school energy bills decreased it also allowed the school lights to stay on during power cuts which are very common in Africa. 

We wanted to run a workshop at all the schools for the staff, students and their families to explain solar power, the advantages and the impact on our environment and we were surprised how many passionate people came through wanting to understand and learn more about renewable energy. We have identified a real gap and need for affordable home solar systems and one thing that is clear: people living in shacks and low cost housing do not need big systems, portable systems that power their wifi, a laptop and lights is more than enough for their living style. 

With this in mind we decided to look at a means tested program where we can offer solar packs to families that have children in school, this would cost $58 per system per family and we now plan to take advantage of the giving season this month and next to try and raise a substantial amount so we can help families get onto solar before 2025!
