Education in rural Eritrea with solar driven projector
The German social NGO Archemed e.V. has been working for years in
the health sector in Eritrea. The main activities are around support
for maternal and children hospitals. One year ago Archemed together
with the Eritrean Social Union has started a new project to inform
about the dangers and risks of female genital mutilation. This
thousand year old tradition continues to be practiced in a few
communities, but still causes death or life-long pain for women.
Archmed uses educational videos to show in schools and to inform
village communities. A special focus is to inform especially men in
society, that are often not aware of the risks and the pain of this
tradition. The videos are often shown in rural areas where there is
no access to the electricity grid. Therefore Archemed is using a
solar projector kit developed by Phaesun, that can be set up and
carried easily.
Archemed reports about their work in Eritrea on their website.
Please find also a report of the last visit to Eritrean villages,
that took place in March 2016 on
www.archemed.org.

15 Years phaesunized!
Episode 2008: Communicate about Off-Grid energy!
It was 15 years ago that the cornerstone for Phaesun was laid in
Memmingen in the Allgäu. We use this anniversary year to tell about
the Phaesun background and history episode by episode!
In 2008 Phaesun was focussing on a comprehensive communication
strategy. The objective was to show, that the energy of the sun can
be used in a practical way via Off-Grid solar systems anywhere in
the world! Especially in structurally weak regions where there is no
electricity grid, solar energy can bring enourmous progress to
improve living conditions and increase independence. As a symbol for
the practical use of the sun, Phaesun developed the squared sun,
that remained for years in lots of Phaesun communication material (until
now as part of the logo). To get closer to the customers, Phaesun
organized the first Off-Grid workshop in Sharja/UAE in 2008 in
cooperation with the solar electronic specialists Steca Elektronik
and Studer Innotec and some more manufacturers of the sector. Please
find pictures of the episode 2008 on the Phaesun Facebook
page here.
