Are they ready for a career change? I am looking for two rural Congolese women to be trained as "Barefoot Solar Engineers". It sounds like a great opportunity.
It is a great opportunity but it comes with a big hurdle. The woman must attend six months of training in India. If selected, the cost is covered by the Indian Government Ministry of External Affairs' Technical Cooperation Division.
At the end of six months the trainees pass out as Barefoot Solar engineers. As per prior agreements, the ‘graduates’ go back to their respective villages and electrify the households with solar lighting units and assume the responsibility of repair and maintenance for a minimum of 5 years. Barefoot solar engineers play a key role in sustaining and replicating solar technology in rural communities.
Will we find two women to nominate?
