Moving towards more solar for rural communities in need

SolarAid Zambia's Manager, Trevor, will shortly be going on a trip to the Eastern Province to observe the macro-solar installation process. He will do this in partnership with the People's Action Forum (PAF), the organisation that runs community centres- or CABLACs- in Zambia. During the trip, members of PAF will also receive training in macro-solar installation.

Two locations for macro installations have recently been identified as Chipata- near the Malawian border- and Infuro. The new sites within these areas will include schools, community and training centres. Things should start moving quickly now, with a proposed seven installations scheduled for completion by the end of May!

Rural Zambia

In micro-solar, the team is waiting for a large import order of 2000 products to arrive. Once these are on the ground, production and training will start in Shesheke- a very poor and remote area in the South West of Zambia.

WIth your help, SolarAid can work effectively towards faster reduction of carbon emissions, improved health for the most disadvantaged people of Zambia and increased literacy rates through access to clean and affordable lighting. Please help us with whatever donation you can.

Thank you.
