Help Light Up Schools and Health Clinics in Uganda

Our newest promotional initiative is to install our systems free of charge in schools and health clinics throughout Uganda. If you would like to support this program and help light up a school, you may do so through the purchase of a very cool solar LED keychain flaslight. Village Energy can be in your pocket for only 6 USD, and you'll have the assurance that every purchase goes towards the installation of our solar lighting systems in a school or health clinic in Uganda.

Our partner in this effort is Giant Steps of St. Louis, a school for children with autism spectrum disorder. The great folks at Giant Steps have agreed, as part of a global awareness and service project for their students, to help coordinate the packaging and shipping of the keychains.

Together, we've named this program Light up Africa.

Hello everyone. Last week we had a visit from Anna Cavell and her companion Duncan two journalists who took time off from their busy schedules of the usual content of war, corruption, rigged elections, and rebel groups to do a story about Village Energy and how we're working hard to make Africa the first continent where a majority will get their energy from renewable resources.

On a positive note, the power sector is blessed in the sense that it can use many forms of primary energy—coal, oil, natural gas, uranium, and renewables—to generate electricity, a versatility not necessarily available in other sectors.This versatility also suggests that the electricity sector could be a potentially significant contributor to reducing GHG emissions in other sectors—for example, through electrification of transportation.

Deregulation allows consumers to choose where they buy their power, much as they can choose their long-distance company. This choice creates a competitive marketplace in which each energy company is working to provide the best product. Creating competition drives prices down and improves quality.
