Power in the community where our school is located is mostly provided by diesel generators or expensive imported electricity. The cost is very high and the supply unreliable, as well as being hard on the environment. This has made it very difficult to operate a computer lab and medical clinic that were built by volunteers and donated to the 500 K-8 students at the school in San Mateo, Ambergris Caye, Belize. Cheaper power will also allow us to supplement the vital feeding program.

Solutions
Installing solar panels to provide electricity to 500 students in Belize

This project allows us to provide renewable electricity to our computer lab, medical clinic, cafeteria, and classrooms that serve over 500 K-8 students in San Mateo, on Ambergris Island in Belize, Central America.


Challenge

Power in the community where our school is located is mostly provided by diesel generators or expensive imported electricity. The cost is very high and the supply unreliable, as well as being hard on the environment. This has made it very difficult to operate a computer lab and medical clinic that were built by volunteers and donated to the 500 K-8 students at the school in San Mateo, Ambergris Caye, Belize. Cheaper power will also allow us to supplement the vital feeding program.

Long-Term Impact

On a long-term basis the reduction of fossil fuel based power usage by the school will have a positive effect on the environment while also improving the linked medical/nutritional and educational outcomes of our highly at-risk student population because cost savings are being used to supplement our vital feeding/nutrition and educational programs, including the computer learning lab.
