June 15, 2010 - EE Gears up for Energy Shops Project
Elephant Energy is back in action in Namibia with the arrival of Katie Murphy and the continued leadership of Joseph Ziezo, our Namibian operations coordinator. Katie and Joseph are working hard to prepare for the opening of our first Elephant Energy Shop in Katima Mulilo in August and continuing our work with community-run nature conservancies in Caprivi to take funding from wildlife tourism and invest it in energy technologies, like solar lights, crank radios and solar cell phone chargers, that provide tremendous benefit to rural Namibian communities.
April 15, 2010 - EE Prepares for 2010 Namibia Projects
After a long volunteer search, EE is ready to send Katie Murphy to Namibia in June (see Katie's bio here) to continue our work to energize Caprivi. Katie will work to establish our first Elephant Energy Shop, conduct additional solar-powered torch distribution/sales to community members in rural wildlife areas, and work with women to determine the best energy technologies to meet their needs. Please DONATE by clicking the button above so we can ensure that Katie has the resources she needs to meet our goals this year.
