Changing lives with microsolar

It's great when you speak to those who have benefitted from microsolar. It is a reminder of how a simple bulb and solar panel can change a person's life.

Mr Kalua reads under the light provided by a microsolar system.

I recently interviewed secondary school teacher and Theology student at the University of Livingstonia, Mr R. Kalua, who purchased a microsolar system over a year ago. Still reaping the benefits, Mr Kalua expresses his passion for solar below:

"For a long time I have been facing the problem of lighting my house because I could not afford to install ESCOM [mains] electricity. The national grid line is also far from my village which makes it very difficult.

Finally, I would like to thank SolarAid for the brilliant idea that has changed my life and others in my community. I urge them to continue with this programme and bring in more important systems that have a direct impact to peoples' lives in developing countries. I and my family appreciate the positive impact that this product has on our lives."
