Congratulations to Solar Sister entrepreneur Jesca Odiro for achieving her dream of constructing a home! Before Solar Sister, she was having to pay rent and now she is rent-free. She uses solar to light her home and charge her phone. Go Jesca!

Lack of access to electricity is a problem faced by 620 million people in sub-Saharan Africa.
This amazing DIY electricity project in Zambia is trying to do something about that - teaching students how to build electricity supplies using local resources

The @localelec project is so close to their crowdfunding target -- they're working to set up a space in Zambia to teach young people how to build electricity supplies! Help getting them over the line would be appreciated, if you'd like to support this! #techforgood
Very excited to be launching our crowdfunding campaign today! Over the course of nine months we will be running workshops with students from across Zambia teaching them everything they need to know to build a modern electricity supply. startsomegood.com/localelect…

Such a privilege to be working with @GranvilleWood in Zambia. At 15 he built a robot rover from spare parts he collected from local markets. Super lucky to have him as part of the team.

Last year we had a great pitch practice night for projects in the tech4development sector. Our winner was @localelec with their very impressive project that support #STEM education, promotes economic activity AND develops electricity! Can you help them raise some £££ ?

We’d like to introduce you to the Le1 - it is our primary tool that we have developed a whole training programme around.
Find out more about how students will develop their skills in today’s blog.

The Le1 is a charge controller that can take power from a source of electricity and use it to power something, such as a lightbulb, a mobile phone or a power bank.
