Lisa ignited the enthusiasm of hundreds of highly skilled and experienced people throughout the solar industry who devoted endless hours to make the Solar Majengo project a success. Her passion, endurance, devotion ,and ingenuity are inspirational, all in the name of lighting up the lives of 85 vulnerable children and the staff that support the creation of a safe family environment for them.

Working hand in hand with local and international partners in Kenya, Tanzania and Canada, Lisa facilitated each phase of the 3 year program from the design work, administration, distribution partnerships, local vocational training personnel,  to engagement with the local Maasai Chief and the community council of elders for acceptance and support.

Daily life at the Majengo Children’s Home, has been positively transformed by the addition of reliable solar energy. In the morning as they start their day, they no longer need to fumble around in the dark for their clothes, or eat their morning meal in shadow before they begin their 3 mile trek to school. They can read after darkness settles at 7pm and complete schoolwork further building on their personal development.

In 2013 when I suggested to Lisa, hey wouldn’t it be great to have solar here, I could not have imagined such a meaningful outcome when in 2016, the lights were turned on, demonstrating the success of our vision, fueled by an unfaltering commitment.
