Many of us who work in the Renewable Energy, and Environment space in Tanzania and the region must know Ms Sandra Smithey, either as a friend or as a colleague. Sandra was working for the C.S. Mott Foundation as a Program Officer – Advanced Climate Change Solutions. Amongst other many things, Sandra will be remembered for launching the Renewable Energy Ecosystem Development Project in Tanzania, courtesy of the C.S. Mott Foundation which is still under implementation to date.
It has been one year since the passing of Ms. Sandra Smithey, and this August, the Amshaamsha Foundation is remembering her contributions to the last-mile communities of Tanzania. The rural people of Tanzania, who were deeply saddened by her passing, will always cherish her memories. The Fraxen and Amshaamsha Foundation team continues to carry out climate action work in honour of our beloved Sandra.
Sandra will forever be in our hearts and the hearts of the rural communities she touched. We can only promise to continue working hard to make this earth a greener and better place for mankind.
Continue to Rest in Peace Sandra!
