The city of Zomba usually twinkling in the distance below us is dark tonight. We are in the fourth blackout of the day. Only 1% of rural Malawi and 37% of urban Malawi are even on the electric grid. The city has a power outage typically once a day when everyone is returning home from work and turning on the light switch.
On weekends, there is more demand, which explains why we are on our 4th blackout of the day. Very happy to say our solar lantern has been charging, and we will have light tonight. Most of our neighbors don't have that option.
