We started very simple BUT now our initiative is attracting young and vibrant university students. This time (Feb - March 2015) we received five (5) volunteer students from Arusha University who wanted to learn our impact in Gongali Village, Karatu. The students were so much INSPIRED by our work in Gongali - and were challenged to start the similar initiatives to their communities back home. Among other things, the students surveyed households to see the number of households who adopted our initiative for solar power Vs. Kerosene. The chart in the picture below show how far we have gone by Mid-March 2015. It is evident that the battle against kerosene is still strong BUT our effort is SIGNIFICANTLY EVIDENT. We thank you for your contribution to STAND WITH US, as we struggle to WIPE AWAY KEROSENE from our community. Note that Kerosene is expensive, harmful to respiratory system, none-renewable, etc. Still it is NOT easy to convince people to stop using it and move to renewable energy even as simple as the solar lantern. Our persistence presence in the midst of our community will surely change the situation. THANKS FOR YOUR RELENTLESS SUPPORT!
