Carlos Morgado Foundation successfully completes the installation of Solar Giraffe in MIlamba, District of Metuge, Province of Cabo Delgado.
The community of Milamba, which does not have access to energy from the national electricity grid, now relies on a Solar Giraffe to charge cell phones, listen to the radio and have access to public lighting.
The installation, sponsored by Fundação Carlos Morgado, took place between the 27th and 28th of June and had the support of five (5) members of the community.
A solar giraffe was born on the site of a fallen baobab tree, a metamorphosis of longevity and community resilience.
The project is developed and implemented by the Carlos Morgado Foundation, in partnership with MWE - Mozambique Women of Energy and with local support from Aga Khan Foundation. The Solar Giraffe now has 8 installations across the country, with the pilot project being installed in Mangunze, Chongoene District, Gaza Province, in December 2020.
In this installation, as in all, the project donates the remaining equipment and materials, but in addition to these donations, the Carlos Morgado Foundation also donated teaching and leisure items to the community.
