Power Outages Limit Learning Time

Electrical services can be inconsistent and unreliable, creating an unstable learning environment at See Them Grow Foundation’s (STGF) Vocational Training Center. Electricity disruptions present challenges for students to engage in hands-on training and make use of the Vocational Training Center’s technology.

Solar Batteries Provide Reliable Power Source

The donation from Luena Foundation provided solar batteries, enhancing the capabilities of STGF’s Vocational Training Center. This pivotal contribution marks a significant step forward in sustainable development and educational empowerment. The solar batteries will store solar energy, ensuring a reliable and eco-friendly power source that enables STGF to expand its program offerings and enhance the learning experience for all participants.
