These are examples of solar panels built by our local solar entrepreneurs. They are being tested in the sun.

We're really glad to announce that TRAID, an organisation that runs high-end charity shops in the UK, is providing funds towards this project. This will really help us get it off the ground, so any more donations that you provide will have an even greater impact. TRAID do an excellent job recycling clothes in the UK and turning them into great new fashion-wear, which they then sell. The profit they make goes to fund development projects such as this one.

So please donate now so that we can accelerate this project even more!

This is a picture of discarded single use batteries, which are used throughout Africa to power radios and are then abandoned, causing pollution. One of the benefits of our microsolar work is that people can now power their radios using solar chargers, which means no more abandoned batteries.
