infrastructure

Solar kiosks considerably contribute to the electrification of Togo – a country where 75% of its population does not have access to electricity. The solar kiosk installation is accompanied by courses conducted by experts and addressed to individuals who are subsequently hired to operate the point.

STAGES

From the beginning of April of 2014, VZW BISZ installed 74 solar kiosks to improve the living quality of about 21 thousand people. The Solar without Border project has opened over 100 solar kiosks in Togo thus far and the organisation plans on installing 850 kiosks by the end of 2015.
