We are very proud to announce the opening of the Tiloo Shop on the project site in Latriya. The population of Latriya and the surroundings has now the possibility to buy solar produced products like babyfood, dried fruits and roasted peanuts.
In 2015, the UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 goals. Goal 7 focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all (SE4All). To achieve goal 7, a workshop was held last week in the Gambia which Tiloo also attended.
Currently, our employee Lisa Sidibeh is getting trained: A Gambian expert in manufacturing beauty and hygiene products is training her to produce different products. This is something from which the Gambian population will strongly benefit.
The carpenter volunteer Salvatore arrived last Monday in Latriya: Welcome to the Tiloo Gambia team! His current task is to set-up Tiloo’s own carpentry workshop. Moreover, he is going to make the construction plans of the solar cookers and dryers for Tiloo carpenters.
90 percent of the population in the Gambia use, in the absence of alternatives, firewood and charcoal as the main energy source. The deforestation has far-reaching consequences: Increase of the prices for firewood, soil erosion, threat to biodiversity and increase of the climate change.
It has been four weeks since the opening ceremony. We can look back on a successful and intensive time. The planning of the Shop on the project site is in progress – soon we are going to sell solar produced products like babyfood, dried fruits and roasted peanuts.
The Solar Association Tiloo opening ceremony was a big success. With the sun shining all day long the weather was perfect for officially opening the solar project center in Latriya.
Even as a non-profit and tax-exempt organisation we still need to cover our costs. Solar cookers and tunnel driers should remain affordable to people in Gambia. In addition, we value fair work conditions for our employees in Gambia. As such, we are dependent on financial support from others.
