YOLK engages in designing innovative solar products<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to appeal to the masses. The Solar Cow<\/strong> is basically a metal frame in the shape of a cow and has a solar panel attached atop.\u00a0The Solar Cow project aims at curbing child labor which is fast growing in the backward areas of growing economies. YOLK has set solar cows in the rural areas of Kenya having little access to electricity. The root cause of child labor is poverty and in order to provide enough incentive for the parents to send their kids to school, free electricity is being offered. The power banks or the small milk bottles has enough power to charge\u00a0cell phones, flashlight, radio, or other gadgets<\/em>. It is seen that families are able to save up to 20% on their power bills, and\u00a0\u00a04-6 hours of walking time to the nearest charging station (to get their gadgets charged).<\/p>\n A Solar Cow<\/strong> typically comprises of solar panel, storage batteries, portable\u00a0batteries and charging station<\/em>. $1 million can bring 20,000 children to school<\/em><\/strong>. Solar energy is one of the most sustainable sources of power. Once the initial cost is borne, you can literally enjoy power for free. Institutions which bear the cost of primary education for kids have a limit to these expenses. With a Solar Cow, there is no such limit. It is a good initiative to impart education<\/em><\/strong> to poor kids. The primary\u00a0years of a child are very crucial and could shape his\/ her entire life. If we are successful\u00a0in instilling basic education into them, we\u00a0can end up shaping a better future for the next generation.
