Powering Our Schools for a Brighter Future
The Challenge: No Mains Electricity
At Love in Action, we are committed to providing quality education and healthcare to children and families in rural Uganda. However, one of our biggest challenges is the lack of access to mains electricity at our schools.
Currently, we rely on a small solar system that provides only limited power, and when this is insufficient, we are forced to use a diesel generator. This comes with high fuel costs, noise pollution, and an environmental impact, making it an unsustainable long-term solution.
To provide a more reliable and sustainable source of power, we need to upgrade our solar system.
Our Solar Power Upgrade Plan
To meet the energy needs of our schools, we plan to install a 10KW lithium battery solar system, which will provide consistent, renewable power for lighting, classrooms, computer use, and essential school operations.
Planned System Components:
✅ 8 x 550W solar panels – Efficient energy collection for reliable power generation.
✅ 5KVA inverter – Converts solar energy into usable electricity for the school.
✅ 10KW lithium battery – Stores energy for use during cloudy days and evenings.
Benefits of Upgrading to a High-Capacity Solar System:
• Eliminates reliance on our diesel generator – reducing fuel costs and environmental impact.
• Provides a stable power supply – ensuring continuous learning without electricity interruptions.
• Enables better education – allowing the use of computers, projectors, and lighting for evening study.
• Supports the health clinic – ensuring power for medical equipment and essential services.
• Long-term sustainability – reducing operational costs and supporting environmental conservation.
Cost & How You Can Help
The total cost of this solar power upgrade is £6,000. This will provide a long-term, sustainable solution to our schools’ electricity needs.
We are seeking donations and sponsorships to help us fund this essential upgrade.
