Surprise! Solar Lights Help Catch Insect Delicacy
For those who funded Lighting up schools in Chadiza awhile back, then you would have already received an email update this week about the project's progress. The program that SunnyMoney is rolling out in Zambia and other East African countries is fantastic: they partner with schools to sell lights to students, teachers and their families and light up entire communities one school at a time!
Some of the testimonials gathered by the SunnyMoney team from the Chadiza project are so compelling, we couldn't resist from sharing them with other SunFunders. And we're sure that the more projects our partners implement, the more we'll get general feedback like these:
“The community was very appreciative of the lights, which are working very well. The lights were even used to catch inswa (a seasonal insect that is a delicacy in Eastern Province) because they only come out only at night and are attracted to light.” -- Emmanuel Sailota (Nsadzu Basic School)
"The students are using the lights to study and their parents also use them for checking on their fields and crops at night.” -- Kingsley Tembo (Vubwi Basic School)
“The students are benefitting a lot because they can now study properly at night and prepare for school without problems.” -- Nyundiwe Chisala (Chiwongo Basic School)
Just look at those smiling faces. Nice work, SunFunders!
