The small kingdom of southern Africa is among the poorest countries in the world. Most of its inhabitants live on livestock and agriculture. Although not responsible for climate change, its effects - increasing temperatures and droughts - put the population in serious trouble. In these circumstances, having refrigerators for food or medicine has a special meaning. One of the few factories in the country has started to produce eco-friendly refrigerators. The appliances work not only without climate-damaging refrigerants, but also consume less energy, with solar powered models.
