Head teacher at Upendo Primary School, Hagadera, Dadaab

The head teacher at Upendo Primary school, with more than 3500 pupils in classes 1-8, speaks about the urgent need for light, and the positive impact on specifically girls school attendance.

the school runs two shifts, on in the morning and one in the afternoon, to accommodate for the large number of students, as well as the extreme heat during mid day.

The camps have no source of light, other than the occasional kerosene lamp, and open fires, and the school children, as stated in the video, are challenged to do any homework.

If you want to support GIVEWATTS in its efforts to provide clean energy and light to the pupils of this school, and children attending many other schools in off grid areas, please visit www.givewatts.org and find out how.
