The Eretshe Solar Project tested us under the intense heat of the Okavango sun.
Working with The Solar Zone from Maun, we developed and installed a unique solar kit designed to bring Wi-Fi access to the village.
This wasn’t just about technology—it was about giving children and the community the tools to learn, research, and connect with the wider world.
With the support of the Village Kgosi (chief) and the Village Development Committee, we built a sturdy frame for the solar panels and completed the installation.
For five days, we welded, wired, and assembled under temperatures that reached 45°C.
It was grueling work, but every challenge was worth it for the children who could now download books, complete homework, and explore projects online.
By the end of the project, the village had joined the digital world in a way that was previously unimaginable.
Moments like these show how innovation, local support, and determination can open doors for communities that are often overlooked.
In Eretshe, solar power wasn’t just energy—it was opportunity.
