Introduction
Zimbabwe power is very dated and using fossil fuels and there is little to no investment in the infrastructure planned. Currently power cuts occur daily and last up to 11 hours which means businesses can't operate, boreholes for clean water fail, medical clinics can't store medication, schools are limited and at home children struggle to be entertained. No power is a huge block for communities across Zimbabwe to tackle poverty, hunger and many other issues are hard to tackle without power..
Report
One of our schools currently only has power from 10pm - 4am… When everyone is sleeping!
We have been offered a state of the art new solar panel project and we would like to implement 50 systems in households across Zimbabwe and then install 10 in local farms to run Aquaponic systems to provide crops to the community and then a further 10 systems in schools across Zimbabwe as education is seriously impacted due to long cuts of the electricity, often 11 hours at a time. We want to showcase solar and renewable energy across Africa.

Please remember the little by little campaign in April 3-7 where if you donate up to $50, GlobalGiving will match it at 50%.
