  1. SOLARAID IN ZAMBIA and ARGENTINA,

  2. Who Is SolarAid? The biggest problem facing man today is poverty and global warming. That is what SolarAid I trying to stop, simply by providing the worlds poorest communities with clean renewable energy sources to help them. Right now two billion people have no access to electricity making them rely on burning wood and kerosene which is harmful to the environment. SolarAid provides them with solar panels which also enables them to do much more

  3. Zambia They are currently working in Zambia trying to light schools. This is a quote that one of the SolarAid workers made “I am currently working with colleagues at Imusho School in Sesheke district. With a population of over 200 pupils and set in the heart of Sioma National Park, the lack of farmland and industry means that resources are few and far between. In fact, Imusho is one of the most rural schools I have worked with. A full two days travel from the nearest town Sesheke; this is where they must travel to collect resources such as kerosene for conventional lighting. Solar power will enhance the classroom environment and minimise the need to make this journey.

  4. Zambia Opening of a Renewable Energy Centre SolarAid is working on training the Zambian people to install solar panels themselves. SolarAid will be training up to 12 local installers who are hoping to install solar panels in 12 new locations identified by SolarAid Zambia by the end of may this year. This will bring total number of installations to 46, however current funds that they have raised from supporters just like us have made them able to install 76 solar panels by mid 2011.

  5. Solar roller The solar roller is designed to be able to do more than the usual solar panel including being able to charge mobile phones and work radios. They hope to use the solar roller to help power the very rural areas of Zambia.

  6. Argentina • In south America a huge problem is deforestation so some familys don’t have electricity so that Is what SolarAid is trying to give them.

  7. Jobs • Many people in rural south America rely on farming as a job and sometimes don’t manage to grow enough to feed their familys. This is why SolarAid is looking to provide new jobs as well as electricity.
