Solar Lighting for six schools in Burkina Faso

In collaboration with the technician Lassina Nebie and thanks to the economic collaboration of the Diputació de Girona, last month of August six solar lighting installations have been mounted at six classrooms of six schools of the district of Koubri. Each classroom has capacity for 70 to 120 students, so that the beneficiaries will be about 350-600 students, but the fact of having several classrooms with light after dark will mean that the number of beneficiaries will be clearly higher, between 1000 and 2000 students.
