Solar Electricity for an African School

On 18^th April 2016, Tanzsolar LTD was able to present Niwa portable solar lights to the top girls students in Form four at Tegeruka Secondary School. This award to the girls students is of great help due to the fact that they don’t have electricity or solar lighting at their homes to use for studying. Most of the boys students are able to attend study session after dark at Tegeruka Secondary School by using school’s Solar lighting system. Unfortunately most of the girls students aren’t able to attend the study sessions after dark due to long walking distances and sometimes unsafe conditions at night.

In the future Tanzsolar’s hope is to provide more portable lights for girls students so that they will be able to do their studying at home after dark. The gifts of the lights were greatly appreciated by both the young girls who earned the lights by finishing at the top of their classes and the schools faculty. A request was made by the school’s headmaster to Tanzsolar for continuing to provide portable solar lights to girls students whenever possible. Our plan is to continue to support the school solar lighting system until the end of 2016.

Tanzsolar LTD has now distributed LED solar lighting systems with phone charging capability to 24 dispensaries and health centers in the Mara Region. This work has been recognized by the Mara Region Commissioner. A letter of Commendation and thanks has been presented to Tanzsolar by the Regional Government. Tanzsolar LTD sends out a big thank you to all our supporters who have helped to make our efforts in Mara Region Possible. We are continuing to provide these solar lighting systems to dispensaries and health centers who need them until all have solar lighting systems, thank you again. Pictures from the school and young girls acceptance of the lights are attached.
