Sunlabob: drinking water for all

4:37 min

Safe and clean drinking water is a major problem in many rural Lao villages. Making it safe usually requires boiling, which uses a lot of firewood and charcoal. An effective and affordable solar powered pumping and purification system of water will improve health conditions, free up the workload for getting water for other domestic uses, reduce dependence on firewood and charcoal, limit associated deforestation and CHG emissions.

In 2008, Sunlabob launched a south-south business initiative with Ugandan company TSSD. Now solar powered charging stations are operating in a number of remote Ugandan villages. The franchise came about thanks to a prize won at the World Bank Group's Lighting Africa Development Marketplace in 2008.

This proves that Sunlabob has once again spearheaded an innovative approach that has worldwide potential in rural electrification.
