Sharing skills and knowledge

Bundei Hidreka, 31, (left) is sharing her electrical engineering skills with Rohim Miniaka, 20, teaching him how to make a solar lamp.

 

The “barefoot” solar engineers of Tinginaput, India are passing on their skills to other villagers and tribes to help more communities reap the benefits of clean solar power.
