THIS IS HOW WE CREATE:
+ sustainable improvements in educational opportunities
+ expansion of the school from grade 7 to grade 9
+ increase of teaching capacity from 600 to 900 children
+ homework supervision / evening school / further education
+ promotion of individual interests and talents (online)

By providing clean and affordable energy to the school, we can significantly improve the education and employability of (young) people in Banhine.

The project costs include: 
  • Planning / installation / maintenance of the photovoltaic system together with LOGOSINDUSTRIES.COM (see the equipment list)
  • Establishment of local expertise for handling and maintenance of the system
  • Electrification, interior and exterior lighting of 3 buildings
  • Internet and computer donations
  • Refrigerator for storage of medicines
  • Financing of follow-up projects (see below)
The school becomes a place of learning, meeting and culture for children and adults.  Center of the village community by day and by night.

To make this project reality we would like to win you as a partner. We build with your donation. SUSTAINABLE + TRANSPARENT

How we want proceed:
School management and community administration in Banhine serve as partners and supporters for the project planning and coordination. They participate in the sense of ownership with funds that are saved for maintenance and repairs.

After successful construction of the solar plant, we start follow-up projects with the local community in the areas of: 
gender equality
(e.g. by fostering education around female hygiene and contraception and provision of related products),
computer literacy (to enable access to secondary education),
health (e.g. by connecting the local health clinic to the school's electricity grid)
and more. 

To this end, we are expanding our network of donors and strengthening our cooperation with local companies. Be part of the journey!
