SWSF installs Solar Panel

Due to the lack of electricity in Shindand Town. SWSF decided to install solar panels which has enabled us to run our laptop/desktop computers, printers and have a fan. Its a great technology which is perfect for an environment where people depend on generators. Generators can be costly due to the pice of gas, which is over $1/liter (about $4/gallon). Shindand has the most sunny days in Afghanistan and solar looks like the smart way to go.
