Microsolar success

The demand for our locally produced microsolar products in Tanzania is huge. In fact, we can hardly keep up with it. A few days ago, three vendors came to see us and bought 50 units in cash. Three days later they had sold 30 of them!

It is especially our 'Microsolar Home Kits' that are in such high demand here. Last week, we went to visit a school with twelve units and the teachers bought ten of them. People love these kits because they give them access to portable electricity and light at a very low price. We get so much good feedback on the effect these kits have on their quality of life.

On my way back with Beatrice, the local administrator and translator, we were stopped by two armed policemen who asked us for a ride. They often do this to avoid taxi fares. Beatrice started talking to them in Swahili and before we dropped them off they had bought the remaining two kits, leaving us empty handed!
