Girls in the Burkina Faso villages of Kamsi, Djomga, and Sissene are attending school and now have solar-powered lighting to allow them to study after dark.
The solar-powered lights and irrigation have been in the village of Djomga for one year now. Our CBG-WA team recently visited Djomga and found all the equipment – including the community shed lit with a solar kit consisting of a 60W solar panel, a battery, and four (04) LED bulbs of 7W each – in good working order. The team shares these photos.
"My name is Diallo, and my daughter now attends school. We are very pleased with our electrification project. CBG-WA taught us how to care for the equipment. With the lights powered by the solar panel, we want to tell you the success rate of our school has grown. "
"My name is Hama and I am in grade 2. It makes me very happy to have the solar kit that lights the community shed so I can study every night. I am a great student and the solar light helps me have good grades in class."
Your support is so very much appreciated by all residents of the villages of Kamsi, Djomga and Sissene. Even the children are learning how the sun can make the lights work; and then how to keep the solar panels in good working condition. You are the light of all of these lives!
