A large gardening project is currently being built in the shade of the solar system and within the fence. A very active group grows vegetables and fruit for the villagers. In the shade of our solar array, we are creating work and healthy food for the local people. This gives meaning and hope to the villagers and additional acceptance for the solar project.

Thanks to our collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), we have gained committed and competent support. GIZ’s contribution can be seen in concrete measures such as the provision of a cold storage room and gardening tools as well as the rehabilitation of a disused water source. In addition, we were able to make significant progress in the gardening project thanks to GIZ’s technical expertise.
