On this day of April 21, 2022, we celebrate the World Innovation and Creativity Day!
This is an opportunity for us to present once again the actions of the young association Low Tech Lab Yaoundé. It is supported by Solidarité Technologique, which provides it with access to certain components from end-of-life e-waste equipment. The Low-Tech Lab then uses them to manufacture simple, inexpensive technologies that are accessible to all and easily repairable. Today, they provide solar street lamps to poorly lit neighbourhoods or rural areas of Cameroon. The images below illustrate them better! A remarkable innovation that we encourage, as it reduces the amount of electronic waste produced and encourages reuse.
