Yes! We have light!

Things are progressing at Muende Elementary School

“We have so much light at the school!” When the school children told their parents, they didn’t believe it. So the parents came the next day to have a look. And yes, the children were right. “The lighting has changed the village into a town.” School director Agnes Owomugisha is delighted about the progress.
The new solar panels, which were made possible by your generous contributions (we collected over 4000.— EUR) are fully operational now.

Not only do they power the lights and therefore add to visibility and security at night and in the early mornings; they also power the computer, a fridge and the water pump. This means that the old generator can be left for emergencies and it does not consume fuel anymore. A great step forward.

What’s next? On the list of important things are a fence to secure the property and a printer for easier production of learning materials.
