Solar Power Transformation in Rural Schools

The Solar Power for Rural Schools initiative aimed to address one of the biggest challenges facing rural education: reliable access to electricity. With the support of 678 donors, we were able to transform the learning environment in five schools across rural Kenya. Key achievements: • Installation of solar panels and battery systems • Setting up computer labs in each school • Enabling evening study programs • Training local technicians for maintenance • Reducing schools' operating costs The impact has been remarkable - students can now use computers, study after sunset, and schools have reported improved academic performance. The project has become a model for sustainable energy solutions in rural education.
