    Hi Joseph,

    I use a solar lantern every night here in the UK, and I think it's amazing. It seems to be the way of the future for offgrid communities. I wish you every success with your endeavours.

    I wondered if you'd come across solar cooking. This involves using reflectors to direct sunlight onto a black pot, which is insulated behind glass or even a simple 'greenhouse' made from a plastic bag. No fuel is needed, just sunshine. At its cheapest solar cookers can even be made from cardboard and aluminium foil!

    If you're interested in finding out more, here's a link: solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki...

    This link is about solar cooking in Kenya: solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki...

    There's a solar cooking project based in Nairobi run by Faustine Odaba: solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki...

    The loan received helped me to register as zidisha member..
    With subsequent increments on the loan limit it will help me to reach more households that are not enjoying green energy benefits..
