As the power situation has become challenging especially due to the recent drought in Zambia. On the 18th of September 2024, KATC received a shot in the arm in the form of a solar unit which was sponsored by the Canadian Jesuits International (CJI), and the Chamber of Crafts Frankfurt. This timely gift is highly appreciated and welcome as KATC commits itself towards the use of sustainable energy solutions. The processing department at KATC was struggling to cope with incessant power cuts, and the solar system will be of great help in the processing of grain and dairy products in this unit.
The event was graced by the German Ambassador to Zambia, Anne Wagner-Mitchel and Vice Provincial of the Jesuits in Southern Africa Fr. Vigillio Costa among others. In her speech the Ambassador said she is happy to see Zambia and Germany working closely together especially in projects that are helping in improving sustainability. “I am happy to see people to people collaborations that are going on between the two countries, this is helping in improving sustainability,” Ms. Wagner Mitchel said. Fr Vigilio, said the gift is a sign of solidarity and collaboration coupled with a good cause of developing communities into self-sustenance with environmentally conscious means.
