My friend Simon is crowd sourcing funds to build a bore hole, that will help provide clean water to the Amoyo community he works with in Kenya. 

He’s just set off on a 500 mile sponsored walk, following the Camino de Santiago Trail, from the Pyrenees in France to Galicia. You can sponsor his trip on IndieGoGo.

Photo taken this afternoon. On the final countdown of a fundraising campaign on IndieGoGo! Almost at $25,000. Join the crowd of supporters to help make energy access happen for communities across Kenya.

I can’t say I was overwhelmed with excitement about this photo session. Jua Kali translates as ‘hot sun’, and the afternoon lived up to that name.

I’m helping put together a tasteful calendar of Jua Kali artisans to help raise money for a training programme which will help train artisans to build small-scale renewable energy technologies. We think it’s an exciting idea. If you would like to buy a calendar, head over to indiegogo.com/accessenergy - hit contribute and choose the calendar.
