Most of our beneficiaries hales from rural areas a few are from town, therefore some faces challenges Such as water shortage and rationing, Electricity power installation and Lack of warming and cooking fuel in form of firewood and charcoal. It is from this that the site came to a consensus to provide the most newly enrolled children/parents from Mwichuiri, sweetwater and Town areas with ,Tanks, Solar lights and Energy savings jikos.
SOLAR LIGHTS BENEFICIARIES
It was discovered that some of the children do not study or complete the assignment due to lack of adequate domestic light, also the harmful smoke from the kerosene lamp affect some. To some families they often lack money to purchase the commodity, Parents send their children far to seek for their phone charging at a cost. All in all we managed to provide 125 solar lights to some number of families. the solar kit consist of three packages, kitchen, table room and one for the children studies. We are thankful to God that these families are benefited out of it. We do hope that the cost of kerosene and phone charging will be waved besides reducing at 0% kerosene smoke.
