Side by side with making people aware of the technology that are available in the demonstration house, we find that it is necessary to educate the people on why these systems are needed. These inventions will only be accepted and put into practice when the people know the importance of them.

Methods:

There are several methods that can be used to spread the information we need:

  • Information seminars at the demonstration house
  • Presentation at town meetings and groups meetings (such as that of the women’s group)
  • Classroom visits and educational programs in local schools
  • Pamphlets and flyers

The information:

In this link is the content of the presentation that we give to the locals.
