DESCRIPTION:This talk illustrates a model for creating sustainable energy p
 rojects in developing countries\, utilizing the presenter's recent experie
 nce with an off-grid solar installation in Africa.\nMajengo Children’s H
 ome\, Tanzania\, East Africa is the site of a 6.25 kilowatt off-grid rooft
 op solar system.\nThe presenters will draw on their experience of designin
 g a solar system for sub-Saharan Africa to supply the electrical load requ
 irements for 85 orphaned children and 20 staff. They will touch on the 2.5
 -year process of raising the funds\, sourcing a partner in Tanzania to sup
 ply the components\, and maximizing local involvement.\nThe financing mode
 l used for this project will be explored in addition to the methods curren
 tly being used in other projects to enhance sustainable solar projects in 
 communities at risk in both the developing world and within our own Indige
 nous communities.\n\nSpeaker(s): Lisa Oelke\, Tanya Deer\n\nRoom: 202\, Bl
