Charity Developed to Provide Wind Energy to Rwanda, Africa
AllAfrica.com reports Rwanda, Africa is short of their electricity needs by 40%. A resident of Rwanda living in the U.S., Mr. Jackson Ndizeye, has started a charity called Rwindalectric, to determine wind capacity of Rwanda. The feasibility study he is looking to conduct will last 12 months and cost up to $50,000. The charity is organizing a fundraising campaign to purchase a 60 meter tower and then ship the equipment to Rwanda sometime before June. The second phase of his plan is to build a wind farm that will create 10-50MW of electricity to be added to the national grid. The charity is looking for investors to help in making this a reality.
