In Bolivia there are still many people who live without electricity, in a country where in many places the annual solar radiation is twice as high as ours. This is also the case in the municipality of Independencia, where we and our project partner CCA want to build a small photovoltaic system for 300 extremely poor and remote farming families. The modules come from a gift from Germany. The remaining components (battery, cable, cell phone connection, etc.) are purchased in Bolivia. When the application was submitted, young indigenous men who were trained as solar fitters by the CCA at the expense of Inti Ayllus had already built 153 of these systems for the CCA. They are expected to build 50 more of the remaining systems as part of this project in less than two months.

(Improved) access to basic health care for street children and other vulnerable groups in the slums of Kisumu in Kenya. The project combines SDG 3 (good health and well-being) with SDG 1 (end poverty) by providing young people affected by subsistence poverty with access to basic medical care. Measures: 1. Equipping the medical outpatient clinic with equipment for diagnostic tests and clinical examinations ( e.g. malaria, HIV and typhoid tests). 2. The purchase of medical supplies (medications and personal protective equipment). 3. Medical advice for psychosocial support on issues such as HIV/AIDS, sexual and reproductive health and rights and other current health issues.
The Um-Welthaus Aalen aligns its educational work in the area of ESD/global learning with the SDGs. In the 2017/18 school year, the focus topic will be SDG 11 “Making cities and settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. The target group of young people should be expanded from school to non-school contexts. The central measure is the implementation of a traveling exhibition on sustainable mobility in three cities in the Ostalbkreis, which young people helped design.
