In the Zambezi Region, the region with the poorest population and weakest infrastructure, 86% of households rely on wood for cooking, according to 2015 statistics. Only 14% of the population in the Zambezi region have access to electricity for cooking, while 32% have access to electricity for lightning. As a result, 62% of the people in the region use candles for lighting, resulting in the purchase of expensive candles, which are ecological unsustainable and risky. Solar lanterns provide a cost-effective and ecological alternative to the current situation. The solar lights donated by the NamPower Foundation will increase the learning capacity of the learners in the Zambezi Region.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the handing over, Hans-Christian Mahnke from the LAC said: \u201cWe want to give the pupils and their parents not abstract solutions to issues arising from climate change and wildlife crime, but rather pragmatic teaching and learning tools, which are relevant to them, and also, with the ability to actually change their behaviour in various areas. The children will benefit directly by having one solar lantern per household, enabling them to study at home at night, and also enabling them and others to believe and invest in climate change adaptation measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":282376,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-282369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
