Project description

CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTION

VIA plans to install solar mills in villages in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, and Vanuatu. These mills will deliver services to up to 10,000 households. Small mills will be installed, with an appropriate capacity for the village, through a microfinancing program. The mills will be used to process staple crops, such as rice, corn, and cassava, that require processing before eating, and make up the majority of the diet of rural villagers.

IMPACT

Use of solar mills will increase productivity for rural farmers, while decreasing the amount of manual processing required. The time saved in manual labor can be redirected to other efforts that will increase income, particularly for women who are the primary source of labor for agro-processing. Cost savings will be realized in the reduced consumption of diesel fuel, and reduced time spent traveling to mills in remote villages.

ORGANIZATION

Village Infrastructure Angels (VIA) was incorporated in 2012 with the mission to make poverty-alleviating infrastructure affordable to everyone through long-term loans.

Village Infrastructure Angels (VIA) participated successfully in the PAEGC Initiative (https://poweringag.org/) and was with its project 'Solar Agro-Processing Power Stations' among the winners of 2015.
