Along with the University of Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Aleutia, in London, will begin rolling out an education initiative across Kenya called Solar Classroom in a Box.
The flat-pack classrooms will be sent over to each of the country’s 47 counties, with one able to fit into a pick-up truck. With field-proven solar technology – combined with low power computers – Aleutia saw the need for the project after discovering how Africa accounts for over a sixth of the world’s population – yet it only generates four per cent of global electricity, a problem which looks set to get worse as the demand for power grows.
