Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In August 2019, Chinese Ambassador Hu Zhangliang pledged a donation of solar-powered streetlights to Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr of Freetown, Sierra Leone to support the city's Cleanest Zone Competition. On November 4, 2019, the Chinese Embassy donated 20 solar-powered streetlights and an unspecified number of smaller solar lights to the Freetown City Council during a handover ceremony. The streetlights were offered as rewards for communities that performed well in the Cleanest Zone Competition. The smaller solar lights were installed in public green spaces.
