Go on Safari with our New Indiegogo Perks!

The Maasai Village Solar Radio Project on Indiegogo is happy to announce we have extended our deadline for the campaign, which now runs through Jan. 12, 2018. This gives us additional time to spread the word and raise funds for this important mission to solar power a village in Maasailand, starting with a radio station, with ongoing and future solar applications to include: solarizing maternal health dispensaries, health clinics, solar home systems, primary schools, and solar water pumping systems. The future is bright with help from our backers!

We are also excited two new perks that give our backers the opportunity to see the wonder and beauty of the Tanzanian bush. For a $5,000 donation to our Indiegogo campaign, you can attend a private, custom-planned safari with the following details:
