Powering the Future: Solar Panels Now Installed at the library!

We are thrilled to share some fantastic news! In February 2025, Solar panels were installed on the roof of our library at Chibolele so as to provide us with cheap and reliable electrical power at all times. This makes our library even more eco-friendly, sustainable and efficient. Importantly, at a time where the Zambian national grid has failed and electrical power is rarely available, we can keep our systems going.

Our new library has been equipped with a computer lab, which we intend to open to local schools and members of the public free-of charge. This will be a unique facility in Chipulukusu – where most people do not even have electricity. The installation of Solar Power brings us one step closer to opening our computer lab. We have a stock of Irish-donated computers, laptops and other IT equipment, on standby, and we are just waiting of the appointment of suitable IT staff with the skills to run the computer lab, and adequate security arrangements, before we can launch it.
