SOSOSO-PRO – SOLAR-SORYA-SUN Project

Sorya means „sun“ in Khmer (the language of Cambodia) - pictured in the logo of our organisation. The sun is a natural asset here in Cambodia all the year round. Since many years Sorya is using solar power at our school in Tropang Sdock not just to illumine the evenings after dark. Our solar system is working environmentally friendly and very reliable at low maintenance cost, allowing to hold classes after dark, to use a beamer, DVD-players and such, or to browse the world wide web. Our students are using enthusiastically these opportunities – connected to the world at a secluded village in the middle of rice fields.
„Sorya“, the sun – our name is our mission – Sorya feels obliged to meet its energy needs at all its sites through 100% renewable energy sources. So do we at our new site in Tropang Tree.
We managed a first step by your help at betterplace.org. A small solar system is already working at our new site. Sorya needs still more solar panels to meet its energy demands as we are going to expand our educational activities by the end of the year and are about to build further classrooms. In the medium-term we plan to upgrade our power generation from 400 to 1,000 watt-hours, allowing to install additionally appliances to aid in the production of silk in our silk factory.

Please give any help you can !!!!
You will be as enthusiastic as the local people to watch the perspectives of renewable engery.

Since 2002 the German Cambodian SORYA registered association (e.V.) based in Hamburg is working closely together with its sister organisation of SORYA CAMBODIA in implementing development projects at the rural province of Takeo.
The starting point was building the Alysha Chan School in the village of Tropang Sdock. Here, children and youths get the opportunity to attend English classes and to continue one’s studies. At the beginning of 2009 we were on the World Wide Web and established computer classes accordingly – a convincing innovation at an area where 90 percent of the people live on farming. Read more
