SPONSORED | FNF_Africa thegreencape For the first time in 30 years, the residents of Freedom Farm and Malawi Camp have access to electricity and a sustainable alternative energy service that they own.

The project, which is run in partnership with iSolar, the Community Organisation Resource Centre, Airports Company SA, Wrtsila and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, has installed 461 of these systems to date.

This initiative has empowered these communities in more ways than one. Beyond providing them with access to electricity, it’s also led to skills development and job creation.“Working with GreenCape has been a great experience. It opened our minds in a way that we could see that change is possible if people are willing to come forward and help themselves,” says Sebastian “Basie” Jooste, chair of Freedom Farm.Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.
