Uganda Telecom recently released their latest innovation, a solar charged cellular phone. The new phone overcomes challenges that this technology faces: lack of electricity. Most cellular phone users do not easily have access to power to charge their phone. Since it is not convenient, cell phones have not taken off in Uganda like they have elsewhere in the world. This new technology allows cell phones to be used in even the poorest of villages. One hour of sunlight can charge the phone for 12 hours of talk time. The phones can be charge by solar power or with a traditional power outlet. Of course, we have a long way to go before Uganda fully enters the digital age, but this is a good start and can pave the way for other inventions.
I laugh at the thought of all of our orphans running around with cellular phones someday! Just kidding!
