About this project

The Namene Solar Lights Distribution Programme Southern African Countries - Zimbabwe VPA has been designed to provide clean sources of lighting to the population without access to electricity. The programme will do so by distributing ultra-affordable pico-solar lights to rural households that currently rely on the use of kerosene and other fuels for lighting. Any new design certifications of already listed projects or renewals would be provisional and subject to the prospective statutory instrument of Zimbabwe.
