Plugged-in in Kenya

03/03/2010 — Darragh Caldwell, who runs a business incubator in Cleveland, has assisted 12 startup businesses in the past two years. One of these, Sunflower Solutions, produces movable solar panels that power the Mbaka Oromo Primary School in rural western Kenya.

The school has a Cornell connection: On March 6, 2009, students in the Business Opportunities in Leadership and Diversity program raised $700 to provide the school with computers and solar power.
