We look back on a very successful METSTRADE 2021 and were delighted that you came to visit our stand.

There is a blog post about World Champion Sailors Odile van Aanholt and Elise de Ruyter, we are very proud to sponsor such a great team and there is a blog post about Solar Giraffe who came to the energy rescue of the community of Mangunze, in Gaza, Mozambique.

Have a great week!

Giraffe charges phones

Solar power to the people in Mozambique

The community of Mangunze, in Gaza, Mozambique have been promised grid electricity for years. Unfortunately, a connection has still not been completed. Some community members have small solar panels on the roofs of their houses – but not everyone can afford that investment. When it comes to charging mobile phones those without panels have either to ask neighbours for help, or pay for recharging commercially.

Solar Giraffe is the solution to their problems.
