☀️ Solar Lighting for Girls’ Hostel – Kitahana Secondary School, Kibondo District
Education
Funding needed: £1,900 (≈ 5,780,000 TZS)
The Challenge
At Kitahana Secondary School, around 200 girls live in a simple “hostel” made from three converted classrooms. Without electricity, they struggle to study after dark—limiting their chances to prepare for crucial national exams and reach their full potential. By staying in hostels, girls avoid long walks to and from home in the dark when they are vulnerable, and they can focus on studying rather than domestic chores.
Our Solution
This project will install a solar lighting system in the three classroom dormitories, providing safe, reliable light for evening study. The system will include an inverter, wiring, and fittings, installed by a qualified local fundi. The school will cover installation labour costs, showing their strong local commitment.
The Lasting Impact
With proper lighting, girls will be able to study safely and effectively after dark, improving their exam performance and long-term opportunities. The solar lights will also provide comfort and security for years to come—an affordable, sustainable investment in girls’ education.
How You Can Help
Your donation will light up learning for 200 girls—giving them the opportunity to succeed, dream bigger, and shape a brighter future.
