For the past 2 months, women in Malava and neighbouring areas have been collected old kerosene lanterns and brining them to our youth center. Our project aims at equipping youths who droppe dout of school due to poverty, with adequate vocational and business skills in order for them to use our resource center to make various items to earn a living. In return, we train the youths on various green technologies. They also learn how to make our Mwangabora solar lamps which will then be distributed to women via groups within the area.
We aim to make the Mwangabora lamps from as much recycled materials as possible. hence, we encourage the local community to collect materials which can be used in making the solar lamps. The women have been collecting the old kerosene lanterns, which will now be recycled into new Mwangabora solar lamps by the youths. Once this is completed, the women will receive the solar lamps.
