Example: Walk us through a specific example(s) of how this solution makes a difference; include its primary activities.
We bring in international best practices and technologies to local producers; we provide a solar drier to 64 local households who dry 30 tones of fruits and berries and sell them at reasonable prices, seasons and markets, get revenues and reduce dependence on natural resources. We provide population with healthy food. We organize demonstration campaigns and training workshops to producers, foundations, NGOs and students who promote replication of solar appliances and learn healthy processing technologies, we provide the design docs and processing technology of the solar drier to local producers and other countries: Djibouti, Panama, Nepal, Afghanistan, India, Georgia and Armenia; we host the graduates of agricultural university to have their internships at our site, we organize children’s garden and farm to schools initiatives; 24 local producers replicated the project; 207 people are already trained; 230 reached; 30 tones of produce is not spoilt; children get qualified food; 12 farmers get permanent employment. Within 5 years the drier is reducing consumption of 35000 cubic meters of natural gas; 500 kg of sulphur; emissions of CO2 for 65 tones; SO2 for 1tone, 17200 USD for gas and electricity consumption is saved.
Marketplace: Who else is addressing the problem outlined here? How does the proposed project differ from these approaches?
Armenia, Georgia, the CIS region and as the NGO has global connection through US Alumni, than all the project outcomes are promulgated globally. So far everybody welcomes the project. Seems that the other dried fruit producers would have been competitors for us, but in reality all of them are willing to collaborate and join efforts. People of the energy sector also are willing to promote the use of renewable energy. So they too took part in our demo tours.
