The model home includes an aquaculture project that the ambassador said can help improve Senegalese nutrition. “We are growing fish. We want to show people here in Senegal that it is very possible, with small pools of water which exist everywhere in Senegal and also in Africa, that you can grow enough food, enough protein for your needs as a family,” said Behar.

Senegal's Minister of Renewable Energy, Louis Seck, said that is especially important here in the Sahel - West African countries located on the fringe of the Sahara Desert.

“We have here an abundance of solar energy for pumping water, for heating water, and for running equipment like computers," he said. "So this is a great initiative by the Israeli ambassador and is part of developing renewable energy in Senegal.”

Seck said Senegal's goal is to have solar power produce 60 percent of all household energy.

“Engineers are trying to combine solar power with the national electricity provider, Senelec,"
