Project Description
During a recent visit to Markala, Executive Director Scott Lacy visited local artisans and trades people working in Markala. One man, Daouda Sangare, sat in his shop surrounded by recycled electronics and spare parts to televisions, radios, and other electronic equipment. Sangare transforms broken electronic equipment into working appliances which local families and individuals purchase at affordable prices. Without a formal education in electronics repair, Sangare is a self-taught engineer that can take a few broken VCRs and create an almost new one that works; he does the same thing with radios and televisions. African Sky provided Sangare with "Small business support" so he could purchase tools, equipment, parts, and other resources to improve his business operations.
