Better insolation and no need to run wires to a village make solar panels a no-brainer in a lot of places.

Some entrepreneurs are already renting access to a charger. It'd be cool to get micro-loans for them to buy solar panels.




Good idea. Maybe I should pitch that to my contacts in Kenya


Cool!

Kiva has a few Kenyan MFIs, of which two look interesting: http://www.kiva.org/partners/133 http://www.kiva.org/partners/142

I'm guessing a lot of people would lend for this kind of initiative. Please contact me if you hear back from them: chebuctonian at gmail. Thanks! :)
