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.
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.
