Resorting to candles

According to indigenous leaders in northern Argentina, the price of kerosene is going up so high that rural households are resorting to making candles out of animal fat and donkey droppings, as in the photo below. The light emitted is pretty poor and doesn't last long, which is another reason why SolarAid's microsolar work is so urgently needed. Please donate to this project!
