Help Action for Refugee Life (AReL) by getting solar energy for its tech hub in Kakuma
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
The solar energy would be transformative for AREL, especially in the resource-constrained environment of a refugee camp. Solar energy would provide a reliable and sustainable power supply, ensuring that critical infrastructure such as computer labs, classrooms, and co-working spaces remain operational without interruptions caused by frequent power outages. This uninterrupted power access would allow students to fully engage in digital skills training, enhancing their learning experiences and ensuring timely completion of courses. Additionally, solar energy would significantly reduce operational costs by eliminating reliance on expensive and environmentally harmful fuel-powered generators. These savings could be redirected toward expanding programs, hiring additional instructors, and acquiring advanced learning tools and technologies. Solar-powered facilities would also position AREL as a model for sustainable development, inspiring similar initiatives in other refugee camps and attracting further investment from environmentally conscious donors and partners. Beyond the immediate benefits to AREL’s operations, access to renewable energy would create a positive ripple effect in the community. By demonstrating the viability of solar solutions, AREL could advocate for broader adoption of renewable energy within the refugee camp, promoting environmental sustainability while addressing the energy needs of the local population. Ultimately, solar energy would empower AREL to fulfill its mission of transforming refugees' lives through education and employment, contributing to long-term economic independence and social impact.
