Our History

2015 : In December 2015, a team of engineers from Santa Clara University and two Jesuit Priests traveled to Alafiarou (A village in northern part of Benin).
What they accomplished was amazing, they instilled hope and put smile on the faces of the inhabitants by successfully installing a first microgrid covering 1/10 of Alafiarou village.
2016 : A year later (2016), a second team came to install a second microgrid for another 1/10 of Alafiarou. This confirmed to the inhabitants that this was not another white elephant project.
