Bright school for our girls in Djomga
One more village to be electrified by the end of the year: Village of Djomga. This is made possible through your generous donations. For the school teachers in Djomga: "Investing in our girl’s education can improve life; this is exactly what we need in this Sahelian region, as we have no other source of power here".
CBG-WA staffs visited the primary school in the village of Djomga located in the Sahel region, last month, and met with the students. The students were very enthusiastic and excited about the solar energy lighting project for their school and very impatient to finally be able to study at night.
The results of the solar lighting project in the village of Kamsi, first village of this initiative, are outstanding. The pupils in Kamsi, main beneficiaries of the project, are able to make better use of their time during daytime and nighttime and most importantly they are able to study at night now, thank to the solar lights.
Mrs. Zongo who is the teacher of the five graders class in Kamsi expressed her gratitude saying: "This project is exactly what we need, all the 6 classrooms have their LED installed. Before this project, we had to release the pupils earlier than class end time because it was impossible to see. Now we stay in class according to the normal class schedule as students and I can all read thanks to the solar light. This is great for us!"
Yaméogo, a 9-year-old girl in third grade said: "I am very happy for the electrification of our concession. We do not have to struggle with flashlight or petro lamp. I study every night and prepare my homework and read text book; solar light is fantastic for me, I even have good grade in my English class."
Souleymane, a 10 year old four grader said: “Before it was very difficult for us to study at home in the nighttime, and I often completed my homework in the morning in class. Most students used flashlight at home. The solar energy make studying easier; and having the light give me a motivation, so I am very motivated to study and be successful in school. "
