Gender - Greenpeace Africa trains women in renewable energy

In today's show, we spoke to Ruth Mhlanga - Greenpeace Africa Climate and energy campaigner. From tomorrow till Friday, the 6th of September, Greenpeace Africa will be hosting a Solar Training in Cape Town. The course is set up to empower women and youth with the necessary understanding of how renewable energy can benefit their lives. During the training, participants will learn how solar power and other renewable energy works, how solar panels themselves work, and how to install the panels. Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace.
