SolarAid has recently sent sample micro-solar products from Kenya out to Argentina, with the intention of sharing our grassroots innovation and knowledge with SolarAid's South American partners. We will also shortly be carrying out market research to test the viability of scaling up our micro-solar across South America.

We have been making contact with solar companies in the region too, with a view to scaling up on our macro-solar work.

Although we are currently focusing on working in Jujuy in Northern Argentina and Bariloche in the west, we also plan to reach out to Southern Ecuador, South-west Bolivia, Northern Chile and Southern Peru.

We urgently need more funds for our South America programmes; to move forward and to achieve our ambitious goals. Please support us today.
