Pico Sol projects

Solar panels for solar pump in Ghana

In general, Pico Sol projects are practical activities in co-operation with the local population, with direct and sustainable impact.

Country policy

In the course of years, experience made us wise. After we noticed that there were problems at projects that we could not solve from a distance, we came to the conclusion that the whole world is too bid for us. A focus on countries that are visited regularly by our volunteers, appeared to be a successful approach. Now we are able to contribute to a solution better, either for technical or organisational problems.
