Blog #214: Opportunity Project Update – Solar in Tanzania

0

In 2018, we initiated an Opportunity Project to bring solar energy to primary schools in Tanzania.  Most primary schools in rural Tanzania do not have electricity, hence teaching is carried out on clear days, without the aid of any electronic equipment.  To remedy this, we set ourselves the goal of solarizing all 111 primary schools in the Karagwe District and Kyerwa District of northern Tanzania.  This “solar electrification” consists of roof-top solar panels, light bulbs, TVs, radios, and phone charging strips.  Collaborating with Mavuno and Zola Electric, we conducted 10 installations in 2018, 36 in 2019, 36 in 2020, and finished with 29 in 2021.  The schools thus now have electricity essentially cost free for the foreseeable future.  We conducted surveys in the schools six months after installation, with the results showing an increase in both the quality and the quantity of education.
