What’s the point of changing the energy system when we end up with the same dependencies as before? Renewable energy has the potential to free people, make them energy independent and reduce the global tensions around energy. But who is advocating for buildable, DIY, decentralized, maintainable solar?
We’re at 58% on our crowdfunding campaign to give Lytefire a big push. To increase access. To spread the knowledge. Build a pragmatic solar thermal energy solution. More info: https://lnkd.in/e8YY-46z

Almost every day, the Arise & Shine solar bakery is sharing their baking activity with us by sending a few pictures like that. This group is so impressive.
For this project with Jansen PrimeSteps Foundation, we had to chose good candidates to be trained to start a solar baking activity. Thanks to World Vision Kenya we were able to meet this group.
They’ve worked hard to create their kitchen and prepare the ground. Since they have welcome Joan Arwa and their beautiful Lytefire, their baking activity has been on the rise.
Discover their energy and their story. The link to their interview is in comment.

The sun shines everywhere, yes, but why hasn’t this led to a local, sovereign, ecologic and sustainable energy situation?

Or more importantly, what’s keeping us from achieving this, now? At Lytefire we believed it was a combination of politics and people who will get the job done. While we lose faith in politics on a regular basis, we have never lost faith in people. And that is what we have been supporting DIY solar approaches. It gives people an opportunity to make a meaningful change.

Demonstrate what’s possible, Inspire others. Show that by using solar without electricity, or by starting a bakery, one can live well, without fossils. We think that more and more of these pioneers are needed, to show the rest of the world how it’s done. And then change can come.

Support our ongoing campaign on Ulule. 23 days left to spread diy methods and solar artisans experiences widely.
