Power five rural schools in Masisi and Rutshuru, DR Congo, where over a thousand students study without electricity. Solar panels and battery storage will light classrooms and dormitories, run computers and printers, and let teachers and children learn after dark. We train school staff to maintain the systems, so the light lasts long after installation day. Every dollar funds equipment, training, and lasting energy access for these communities.
In the villages of Masisi and Rutshuru, five schools have no reliable electricity. When the sun sets, classrooms and dormitories go dark. Teachers can't prepare lessons with digital tools, students can't study after dusk, and schools rely on costly, dangerous kerosene lamps and candles. Without power, computers sit unused and internet access is out of reach. In a region already strained by humanitarian crisis, this energy gap deepens the learning divide for children who deserve better.
We install solar panels and battery storage at five schools in Masisi and Rutshuru, bringing clean, dependable electricity to classrooms, offices, and dormitories. This powers lighting, computers, printers, and radios, giving teachers and students real access to modern learning tools. We train local staff to maintain the systems and teach students responsible energy use, so each school manages its own power long after our team leaves, with a simple monitoring system to track performance.
Reliable solar power means more study hours, better-prepared teachers, and safer dormitories for students at five rural schools. Families spend less on kerosene and candles, and the environment benefits from cleaner energy. Schools become more resilient to economic hardship and regional instability. Most importantly, this creates a replicable model for energy-independent rural schools that can spread across Masisi, Rutshuru, and other underserved areas of the DRC.
