Photovoltaic Energy for Environmental Education and Goat Raising with Electric Fences
Energia Fotovoltáica para Educação Ambiental e Caprinocultura com Cerca Elétrica
Energia Fotovoltáica para Educação Ambiental e Caprinocultura com Cerca Elétrica
This project is comprised of lectures on the subject of environmental education in six different rural communities in two different states. Solar energy kits will be implemented in these communities. Goat farms will have their fences electrified, as well as four community centers. 1500 people will benefit directly from this project. The livelihoods of the families involved will thus be improved and awareness will be built on the urgent need to slow down the environmental devastation through the rational use of renewable natural resources such as solar energy.

Project Characteristics and Results
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
1500 community members will directly benefit from the reduction in atmospheric pollution with the end of diesel oil or kerosene fueled illumination, from awareness-building workshops, and a 90% decrease in the use of wood in the electrified fences.
Capacity - Building Component
Lectures and workshops will be offered in an effort to raise environmental education for the communities. Didactic materials closer to the reality and instruction level of the members of these communities will be employed. Teams will also be trained for operation of the systems and their maintenance.
