— Renewable Energy for Schools and Health Centers
Many schools and health centers in Turkana lack reliable electricity, affecting education and healthcare services. This program focuses on installing solar energy systems in rural schools and health centers, ensuring that:
- Students can study after dark with proper lighting.
- Health centers have power for refrigeration of vaccines and essential medical equipment.
- Clean and sustainable energy reduces operational costs.
06.
— Sustainable Energy for Livelihoods
Energy access plays a crucial role in improving livelihoods. This program promotes the use of solar-powered irrigation systems, water pumps, and cold storage units for farmers and fishermen. Key benefits include:
- Increased agricultural productivity and food security.
- Empowering fishermen with solar-powered cold storage to preserve fish for longer.
- Reducing dependency on fossil fuels and enhancing income generation.
