St. John Paul II Centre Lokichar Solar Installation


John Paul II Home Center for Disabled Children currently relies on a very weak solar system that cannot power the boarding rooms and other areas overnight. As a result, the institution depends on Kenya Power, which is expensive and unreliable. Power outages can sometimes last up to five days, leaving the children in darkness. Staying in the dark at night is particularly risky for children with disabilities and can lead to injuries.

Who benefits

  • 90 students (40 boys and 50 girls)

What is done

  • Upgrading of existing systems with new hybrid photovoltaic system (5.54 kWp) and 15kWh battery storage.

When

  • Installation was completed in April 2026
