COMMUNITY CHARGING STATIONS
From our two pilots (since March 2010): Average community profit
of ~$300 p/m p/site Two full time employees
at each site >3600 individual light
rentals Sales of 12 home systems Kamabai (Mohamed)

COMMUNITY CHARGING STATIONS
Future plans 4 more sites approved (October 2010)
2011 goal (funding still being sought): 25 in two districts (14 Bombali, 11 Koinadugu) 300,000 individual light rentals >$50,000 income for the communities 50 full time jobs; all with solar electricity training
Long-term goal One in every Chiefdom Headquarter town, ~2012-3

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
Community buy-in is crucial Education about electrical use is required Realistic assumptions are needed about
usage Systems can be self-supporting (income and
jobs) It is easy to make a difference!
