Helping Schools

  We get requests from schools both in developing countries and the UK about DIY Solar and have decided to devote a page here to helping them make contact.

  How they take advantage of the information must be decided by the schools that make contact with another.

A Small Help

Several people (including individuals, small groups and even schools) have been in contact with me offering some form of contribution to the DIY solar projects that are being started overseas. This in the form of a supply of pv material, parts and funding.

As no-one has raised objections, the details of some schools etc are given below.

In this way, we can hopefully forge direct links between contributors and those wishing to start projects in the developing world. The individual needs of each group can then be best met by those wishing to contribute.

Further to this, an exciting new development could be to link UK based schools (who are through their curriculum becoming more aware of global social, economic and environmental issues) directly with schools in the developing world. This may pave the way for greater awareness of the benefits of solar energy in both countries and further support for education

in the developing world.

Of course, the ultimate aim of Biodesign is to establish self-sustaining projects in the developing world. However, a little support at the initial stages of these schemes goes a long way.
