For the school year 2018-2019 that has just started, the CBG-WA team has visited the project areas and met with students and school teachers of the villages of Kamsi and Djomga. The solar electrification project of the primary school has benefited more than 1200 students in both villages. Students and parents’ thanks donors for bringing them solar lighting power system. Six (6) classrooms in Kamsi have solar systems installed, while in Djomga three (3) classrooms have been electrified.

The benefits of the solar electrification system in these two villages are obvious. According to the teachers, the overall returning students have successfully satisfied the credit score requirement last year. They are promoted, as they met the expectation from last school year.

Kadiatou who is a student parent said that: “having the solar energy lighting system in the primary school has been a game change for our kids. They are really motivated to study day and night time, it seems like they even enjoyed the light. So, the solar light is giving them knowledge. At night time, my kids like to study, which wasn’t the case before." 

Students and teachers reported to our team that, now everything works well. The leaders of both schools have once again welcomed the initiative and thank CBG-WA, and they have also reiterated the funding to continues with other solar based projects.

They also said that students and teachers need school supplies.  Your individual and collective contribution have made a difference in these two villages, we are now moving to expand these experiences in other remote area with no electricity grid connection.

With your donation, more villages yet come!
