The training was conduced in Nairobi, Embu and Mombasa where 100 people were trained. A crowd funding was organized in Switzerland to fund this project in Kenya. As a follow-up, a second training was organized in August 2014 in the Gilgil region, where 15 people were trained. During this process, we got to interact with some people from the 2013 LEDsafari training who had initiated their own enterprise of making and selling solar lamps.See Pictures
Two comprehensive Educational trainings were conducted for the ‘Umang’ summer school that hosted 51 selected students (classes 6-10) from interior naxalite-infested villages of the district. This area sees hardly any access to electricity and the students mostly only used kerosene lamps that are hugely detrimental to health. This initiative delivered science, design and technology learning and exposure, not only providing the participants with the take-back of a sustainable light source but also cultivating in many the interest to pursue solar and electrical engineering as formal or vocational careers.See Pictures
The workshop was conducted as a part of a team building event in WWF Lausanne which 10 people attended. The events main purpose was to create interest in Solar DIY lamps.See Pictures
