Seeing a solar farm located next to a village, one would expect the village to have electricity.
But not so in Maphiring village in Matsoaing, Mokhotlong district, Lesotho.
Villagers say that, in 2022, they gave up grazing land to allow OnePower Lesotho, founded by American entrepreneur Mathew Orosz, to instal a solar farm and set up its project offices.
