PACIDA has 6 lodges that are managed by women groups. The lodges have solar panels to provide lighting for its workshop facilities.

 



PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Of the 21 nursery schools, 7 already have solar lighting systems installed while another 10 others can have solar lighting but at a cost of about 250,000 Ksh per system.

A grant application is currently being developed to install more systems.

We welcome solar and wind energy companies who are interested to set up their systems to demonstrate their products.
