We train farmers, on smaller farms, about sustainable organic farming and conservation with bio-diversity. They are excited about renewable technologies and interested to learn more, especially in relation to climate change.
We are interested to link and partner with other organizations promoting and accessing solar technologies to poor households, especially small farms. We are developing a community demonstration learning center and plan to include solar cooking as a learning kit.
