Dear Donor, Fundraisers and Our Amazing Supporters!
We know it's only been a few weeks since our last report but we have some very exciting news but we also need your assistance with it!
While we continue our work with renewable energy sources for all our projects we have now had the green light to work with InnovateUK and others on a research project where we will be doing a trail of cutting edge solar power systems that will power 20 schools and farms across Africa! It's very exciting and we are actively fundraising the last £5,000 needed to launch this project as we have already raised over £30,000.
As well as this amazing achievement we never forget about the small changes we can and should be making and we are excited after a community workshop. The staff that run an education project in a township for 127 children has reached out to us with ideas they can adopt to help the crisis. It's so refreshing to hear them inspired for cleanups but one huge thing they raised is that currently they use single use poly materials to dish up 127 meals each day as all this single use has a huge impact on the environment. The team have now found a re-usable option that will be branded and provided to each child at a cot of $3 per container so we are seeking your support to help us fund 200 reusable branded lunch boxes for this project - we need a donation of $600, seems rather a large amount but this is a one off cost and will be life changing in cutting down single use non recycling materials that is. currently being used.
We hope once this project converts we can use their stories to inspire others to follow, it's a small step but one that has huge benefits and impact for us all!
Thank you for being a part of the solution!
Tyrone
