PODINI FOUNDATION SOLAR STILL

10.05.2018 – From April 19 to May 1, 2018, engineer Pietro Marri, who together with the Podini Foundation is the promoter of the “Solar Still” project, and the anthropologist Fabio Malfatti traveled to Eritrea. The trip was an opportunity to enhance the functionality of the Australian plant, which is currently located in Gherar – a peninsula near Massaua – and to strengthen cooperation with the marine institutions. Both the Eritrean Minister of Marine Resources and the Mayor of Massaua have shown great interest in encouraging our Foundation to continue using local materials to build the equipment in Eritrea. The ten solar cells purchased from the Podini Foundation at an Australian company are still used for the necessary testing and allow to overcome a number of difficulties encountered in constructing Eritrean prototypes.
