Solar company donates 500 WakaWakas to Uganda
While we still have a few weeks of nice weather ahead of us, a camping trip should definitely be on your agenda. It’s the perfect moment to step away from daily routines, get some fresh air, and recharge in nature. Studies show that spending time outdoors improves both your mental and physical state, reduces stress, boosts your mood, and well, simply perks you up!
Frank Goovaerts on the initiative: ‘The smart WakaWaka Lights work on solar energy and this matches very well with Zonline. At Zonline we are very committed to projects like this and to continue our ‘Rooftop Revolution’ which focuses on a major switch to durable energy. Having electricity and light is very normal for us but there are still a lot of places where this is not the case. War Child is planning to distribute the lights to school-going girls in a project in Uganda. These girls are the most vulnerable for violence and abuse. Thanks to the lights they won’t be in the dark when doing their daily activities like going to school, collecting water or firewood because they have WakaWakas to provide them with light.’
Maurits Groen, Founder of WakaWaka: ‘Worldwide there are still 1,3 billion people without light who are dependant on toxic and dangerous kerosine lamps. The super-efficient WakaWaka is easy to charge with sunlight en makes it very practical and clean!’
