Solar energy for Kariyangwe Primary School

The PV systems installed at the elementary school in Kariyangwe in 2020 are a good example of what can be achieved when many people team up and join forces: They were financed entirely by donations and have been providing reliable electricity at the school ever since. As a result, the quality of life of the students, but of course also of the teachers and all employees at the school has increased enormously.

Why were the PV systems built in 2020?

 

At that time, there had already been no public power supply for a long time. Basic administrative work and communication were only possible to a limited extent, there was no light and hygiene was also affected by the lack of cooling facilities. Although it was possible to provide power on an hourly basis from the emergency generator of the hospital's water pump, the fuel was very expensive and had to be delivered from far away.

For two years now, the PV systems have been reliably supplying the school with environmentally friendly electricity and have made a lasting improvement to the daily lives of the approximately 380 students and their families, the teachers and the surrounding community. For us, they are prime examples of targeted aid.
