Solar Library

In 2015 we started Uchira’s first library and its solar powered!… making use of over 30 Kindles charged by solar power, we now provide a 5 day Library in Uchira for all ages… Books are rare in areas like Uchira, and as such so is the opportunity to learn to read and study. Even the local schools lack text books, so for children in Uchira the only option to access any books is the solar library…
Along side the Kindles the library also houses a collection of curriculum text books which allows the children from primary and secondary schools alike to come and study in their free time, or complete their home work tasks…
The library also created employment for a full time librarian and extra curriculum teacher or tutor for the hundreds of children that attend our library each week… 🙂
