TERREPOWER has announced a partnership with Brighten Haiti, an American NGO focused on using solar energy to enhance education. As part of this collaboration, TERREPOWER is generously donating solar panels to support the provision of solar energy for educational purposes.
Solar4Schools: Transforming Education in Rural Haiti
Brighten Haiti's Solar4Schools initiative is set to install solar energy systems in over 300 schools throughout rural Haiti. This pioneering project marks the largest solar deployment for schools in the nation's history, tackling the urgent need for electricity infrastructure in underserved rural areas.
"In Northern Haiti, a staggering 90% of the population lives in darkness, lacking access to electricity. This generous donation is a beacon of hope," said Kevin Keene, Founder & President of Brighten Haiti.
TERREPOWER and Ontility Boost Brighten Haiti's Solar Mission
The participation of TERREPOWER and its Ontility brand in this initiative is a pivotal advancement for Brighten Haiti's mission. The teams are dispatching the first shipment of 508 sustainably manufactured solar modules intended for school projects and local worker training in solar installation techniques. Their overall commitment to donating over 4,900 solar panels will significantly support Brighten Haiti in modernizing Haiti's education system.
"Consider the transformation for schools without power, where just 22 solar panels can illuminate and cool classrooms. This also enables access to computer labs and technology for the first time. This is not just a donation, it's a monumental leap towards a brighter and more sustainable future for Haiti," said Kevin Keene, founder and President of Brighten Haiti.
Less than 35% of Haitian schools have access to electricity. This initiative has the potential to greatly enhance education and community development, benefiting over 150,000 students.
"I'm thrilled we have partnered with Brighten Haiti to provide them with sustainable solar panels and to provide them with access to clean energy for their communities," said Maria Caballero, President, TERREPOWER.
