Light Up Malawi

We were a Finalist for Ford’s Global Focus Test Drive!

We’re competing to earn 1 of 50 spots Ford’s Focus Global Test Drive. If our team is chosen, Light UP Malawi will receive $10,000 for it’s agribusiness energy pilot this Spring. We’ll also have 2 days of test driving the 2012 Global Focus at Spain’s National Institute of Aerospace Technology.

During and after the event, we’ll share what we learned about the 2012 Global Ford Focus, and use Ford’s $10,000 to develop our agribusiness energy pilot in Malawi. That pilot is designed to bring markets to farmers, decrease Malawi’s 20% Post-Harvest Losses of food, and direct food into Food Security Supply Chains!

In the next couple days we’ll learn if our work and your support heped us earn $10,000 for Light Up Malawi! If you haven’t seen our video yet, please go to the following link to watch our 1 min. 38 sec. video! www.bit.ly/gGEBve
