Did my heart good to read about this initiative.
"Solar Mamas empower our people by giving them electricity": the women lighting up Zanzibar
"The Barefoot College programme, which trains women who have little to no formal education to become solar technicians, is working to simultaneously promote clean energy adoption and foster socioeconomic development.
"For the Solar Mamas, the programme has become a pathway to emancipation. To qualify for participation they should be aged 35 or over, have leadership qualities, and not be too advanced in their education."
