Welcome and Introduction


Hello Everyone,
This is Kai, masters degree student in Environment Management and Policy at Lund University.

This blog's purpose is to provide online information for any interested parties on renewable energies in a small village 50 kilometers outside of Dar-KEREGE.
I am conducting a small research in this village, trying to find out the benefits of installing solar equipments to the villages, and the impact it will have to this society.
I chose this village because it is remote,infamous and it is not connected to the national grid. There is an orphanage in this village that was able to connect and install solar power in their premises. This will then be used in the research as a pilot, in comparing the two settings (with solar power and with no solar power).
The objective of the research is bring into focus the possibility of KEREGE villagers to have solar power, their capabilities in sustaining them and the changes it will bring into their life.
I am hoping that with research done on the village and by showing the opportunities it may bring to the people in the village, they will be able to look for grants and/or funding from NGO's or government to make this research a reality.
