To do this we are providing technical trainings to technicians to upgrade their skills, providing orientation and business training to the local businesses and creating public awareness on the possibilities of various energy options. We have made contact with you as we would like to share this information about our project with the Somaliland Diaspora and let them know of the existing possibilities for business investment and business services that can provide energy services to relatives still here in Somaliland. One of the main focuses at this time is the promotion of solar power systems .
