Maama Watali's New Library
Location: Luwerro, Uganda
Watali meaning 'without', Maama Watali is the incarnation of Ottawa-based Susan. Susan supports orphaned or vulnerable girls in her home village of Luweero, providing them with opportunities and much needed cheer-leading. In coordination with the Rotary Club of Stitsville, Maama Watali's facility is providing another essential service as a community library. The library is lit and powered by a Glenergy solar system, so that reading does not have to stop come nightfall in Luweero. To generate income and empowerment by economic opportunity, the girls of Maama Watali operate a Glenergy solar charging station for mobile phones and sell solar lanterns in their community.
