A group of Malawi women is changing lives in villages that have long lived without power by installing and maintaining solar equipment in homes and schools.? The women, known as the Solar Mamas, were trained in India as solar engineers, with sponsorship from charities.? The solar power has allowed students in rural Malawi to study at night and for their families to earn more income.?
The women may look like ordinary villagers, but a chat with them reveals they are trained solar engineers.
The Solar Mamas are helping to bridge the power gap in rural Malawi, a country where only 10%?of the population is connected to the power grid.?
