Michigan based Koinonia Foundation helps Rwandan villagers harness the sun with solar energy

Posted on: 08-31-2010 Posted in: News & Updates

An article ran about us today in the online environmental publication, examiner.com.

Check it out!

From the article…

“…A few years later while visiting a school in Rwanda, Dr. Williams observed, ‘We were in an area where they had English, French and Science, but no computers. I figured no education is complete without computers.’

In 2004, Dr. Williams was introduced to Michigan engineer, William Greenhoe, who had a background in innovative energy product development, with what has now become Harding Energy, and he began designing solar systems for the Koinonia organization. The organization has since established several schools in Rwanda, equipping the buildings with custom solar installations as their power source. Computers became a reality in 2005.”
