This year we’ve decided to start blogging about e.quinox trips. As we’ve just been granted an access to the blog, we want to update you on all things that happened so far and then we’ll keep you up to date. As you may know already from our about page we’re dealing with rural electrification in Rwanda.
Having 3 energy kiosks in Rwanda already, our plans for this summer include implementing 2 new kiosk – one in UN Habitat refugee camp in Rwanda and one by the school in a Tanzanian village. We’ve also started collaboration with Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering from Dartmouth College (US) on hydro energy kiosks. This summer we’re going to introduce our business model to their existing site and look for a perfect hydro site in Rwanda to implement an energy kiosk powered by micro-hydro next year. Because of the amount of work that we have to do this year we’ve decided to send some of our team members mid-July to make sure that everything is ready for the new sites and to get permission from Rwandan government for implementing the hydro project.
We are very excited about the summer so please follow us to see what’s going on in Rwanda and Tanzania.
