Finishing/Commencement of Yangani/Kado PC Labs

The JPIIPC “Solar for Peace Project” is transforming education in schools within the settlement. Following the commissioning of Twajiji Hope Primary School Computer Lab, JPIIJPC has continued the construction of the Yangani Secondary school Computer Lab Project as captured in May in the last report by constructing a 7x6.6m computer lab, installation of 7.5KW of solar energy,  furnishing with computer desks, 23 chairs, 20 computers, and air conditioner. The computer lab is fully functional with internet installed and the project is presently awaiting commissioning in 2025.

 

JPIIJPC has also commenced the construction of Kado Primary School computer Lab of similar size. It is expected to be finished before the middle of 2025. Once the construction of the computer lab is finished, the solar energy will be installed, the computer lab will be furnished and installed with computers and high-speed internet. 

 

It goes without saying that the installation of solar energy and computer labs has improved digital literacy and lighting for evening studies in the beneficiary schools. This time due to the change in policy in preference for more permanent structures over temporary structures, the Solar for Peace Project suffered bureaucratic delays in commencing the construction of the 7x6.6m computer labs. This disrupted the project timelines and planning and complicated reporting.  Come 2025, JPIIJPC hope to strengthen its collaboration with government agencies in Yumbe to facilitate smoother project implementation.

 

JPIIJPC envisages that empowering the young pupils with computer literacy and improving the lighting condition in the classrooms for after-school-hours studies, will among other things, enhance their learning and improve their competitiveness in the job market after schooling. 

                                      

We remain grateful to GlobalGiving for hosting us in their portal. The Centre is still committed to hire professionals to assist us publicise the success stories of this JPIIJPC Solar for Peace Program to attract financial support globally. We are ever grateful to the Catholic Bishop of Arua for his constant support and availability in all aspects of our Peacebuilding intervention in Bidibidi and Imvepi Refugee Settlement. We salute our esteemed partners – UNHCR, OPM and the lead partner in Education – Windle International. 

 

We are confident that the Year 2025 will come with abundant blessings for us all especially for beneficiaries and our benefactors.

 

Compliments of the Christmas Season!
