Momentum is growing rapidly, prompting us to hire a full-time Country Program Manager, based in Yangon, to oversee our expansion in the country. New hire! Welcome Ann – our new Country Program Manager, Myanmarįollowing the success of SolarLEAP labs in three locations in Myanmar, there is high demand for our technology and education-focused content. To see Ann's work in Myanmar, take a look at her video detailing SolarLEAP's work in Mawgyun, and a video of Greg explaining SolarLEAP's philosophy on technology and local technical support. We're currently working with solar panel and battery suppliers in HK to ship the equipment to start the installation, commencing work in January 2019. It is our belief that eight labs throughout Myanmar will give us the critical mass necessary to create an effective country-wide network, enabling us to broaden our reach, partner with more local institutions, and bring SolarLEAP’s IT-driven educational solutions to many more rural locations in Myanmar.Īnn, our new Country Program Manager, has hit the ground running! Following a recent two week due diligence trip across central and north Myanmar, we have identified a monastery school in Shan state as the site of our next installation. Our goal is to have six working labs by the end of 2019, with a further two in 2020. Right now SolarLEAP has three up-and-running labs in the country, with one more close to the implementation phase (work on that starts in January in Shan state). SolarLEAP 2020 – the sky (or at least the sun) is the limit!įollowing a recent trip to Myanmar to meet with local partners and to visit SolarLEAP labs, the board of directors set about creating our near-term plan for growth in Myanmar: SolarLEAP 2020.
