Home of the Clarisses in Lunsar, Sierra Leone
- Total Investment: 17.500 €
The Clarisse Sisters of Sierra Leone have a girls’ school, Our Lady of Guadalupe, which goes from kinder garden to high school, with almost 2000 female students. In the town of Lunsar there is no electrical grid. The Sisters ran a diesel generator for just a few hours a day, since spending on diesel is difficult to bear. In January 2020, EKI personnel went to the rural town of Lunsar, in Sierra Leone to supervise the installation and commissioning of the solar system.
