About this project
The Namene Solar Lights Distribution Programme Southern African Countries - Lesotho VPA 1 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.
