Everyone was warmly invited to learn about and discuss the power of Solar in Malawi’s schools, health centres, in agriculture and other settings with transformative potential at our recent Renewables Forum on the 10th of November.

We explored,

  • Followed by an open session to share experiences and questions with Renewables Experts from Malawi & Scotland


Speakers included:
