On 4 February 2025 The Guardian reported: Women with little to no formal education are being trained to become solar technicians, transforming villages. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

...Since 2015, Barefoot College has trained 65 women from Zanzibar in solar engineering, who in turn have connected 1,858 houses in 29 villages to power. The institution also acts as a regional centre and has trained women from Malawi and Somaliland.

...The programme was established in India in 1997 by the social activist and educator Bunker Roy and has been adopted by 93 other countries. Members of the first six cohorts from Zanzibar were trained in India and now teach the next generation of Solar Mamas in the archipelago.
