It was a turbulent year. But it was also a year of changes and perspectives for our funding projects in Eastern Africa and Eastern Europa – in the last months solar plants or solar refrigerators have been installed and solar water systems for agricultural activities have been constructed.
Soon it will be time again this year:
In a few weeks we will open the application round for projects that will be realized in 2021
