Buterere, Bujumbura, Burundi. The project forms part of Don Bosco&#8217;s commitment to delivering sustainable and reliable energy solutions for its educational institutions, particularly in regions where electricity supply is unreliable.<\/p><p>The solar installation was developed to meet the growing electricity demand of the TVET Centre while reducing dependence on the national grid, lowering energy costs, and improving the reliability of power for teaching and learning. Today, the system provides clean and dependable electricity for classrooms, workshops, administrative offices, student facilities, and other essential campus services, creating a better learning
