#Repost of @sustainabilitychampions Evans Wadongo, a 29-year-old engineer, experienced the dangerous effects of kerosene lamps growing up in a village in western Kenya. Studying close to an open flame, he was exposed to kerosene smoke that left him with permanent eye problems. Determined to make a difference, Evans designed an alternative – a simple, sun-powered lantern dubbed a "MwangaBora", which means “good light” in Swahili. 💡🌍 ❤️Like this post to support innovators who invent new ways of cleaning the planet. sustainabilitychampions for more positive updates! Evans's MwangaBora is a cleaner and greener lamp that also cuts costs. The lamps are made from locally sourced scrap metal and fragments of solar panels that charge a battery-powered LED light, while a USB port can be built into the base, offering an easy way to charge phones and radios. Over 120,000 people have been impacted so far by the work of Evans’s organisation Sustainable Development For All Kenya (SDFA-Kenya), which organises the production and distribution of the lamps. These lights have not only helped schoolchildren to complete their homework, they have also allowed families to use the money previously spent on kerosene fuel to start businesses.
