Latest Distribution of Solar Panels from Satemwa Fair trade Workers Joint Body

The latest distribution of solar panels to the workers on Satemwa Tea Estate took place this week, with 398 panels being handed out to the workers' local communities.  Each worker receives a solar panel, light bulb and rechargeable batteries and the kits can be used to charge mobile phones, light homes and listen to radios. 



Smart Stima, Joint Body Secretary said "The panels have been specially designed and made from materials, which are easy to source locally.  This means that they are easy to repair if they stop working and provides more people with jobs."

"This has been one of our most popular projects and it seems that we can't hand them out quick enough!"
