Power Outages Affect Village Operations

Zambia has one rainy season a year for 4 months; eight months of no rain. We grow 75% of all our needed food for the 900 meals we serve a day. Without electricity we cannot irrigate for the eight months of the long dry season

Electricity in Zambia has problems. When power goes out that means no electricity, no irrigation, no food. Recently, our electrical transformer for the Village exploded and caused fire.

Installing a solar power array of panels and batteries helps us generate and store power to free us from the many problems that come with the national electric grid.

Thank you in advance for helping us give light everyday.
