The community used its first influx of proceeds from the solar charger to repair this bridge before the rainy season.

Chamtunga's solar charger has helped its first entrepreneur. When Mr. Banda returned to the village two years ago after working in South Africa, he was frustrated by the lack of electricity to power his television. His television now sits in the community cinema he just opened next to the solar charger.

The solar company arrived at Chamtunga after dark and immediately met with the community about installation of the solar charger. The company got to work the next day and now the charger is up and running! The community is very appreciative of this new resource.

Naphimba's solar charger is up and running! The community already had small businesses waiting for the big day, including this barber shop. In our experience, these solar chargers turn sleepy villages into centers of local commerce and connection.

The bridge project is complete! The timing couldn't be better with the rainy season rapidly approaching. This seasonal river will no longer be a choke point for kids getting to school, patients getting to health centers, and entrepreneurs accessing markets.
