Executive Summary

The proposed project aims to revitalize solar energy systems across several schools in the
Machew area of rural Tigray, Ethiopia, specifically targeting Kewanit Primary, Ruba Shewit
Primary, Debrekal Primary, Debrebrhan Secondary, May Weyni Primary, and Sefeho Primary
Schools. These institutions currently face significant challenges due to failed or underperforming
solar systems, which hinder educational access and community well-being.

Key objectives of the project include:

1. Assessment and Repair: Conducting comprehensive evaluations and necessary repairs

to restore solar energy systems to at least 90% operational efficiency within three months.
2. New Installations: Designing and installing new solar solutions at schools where
existing systems have failed, particularly at Debrebrhan Secondary School, which
requires a new system.
3. Training Local Technicians: Providing training for at least 20 local technicians and
school staff on the operation and maintenance of solar systems, ensuring that 90% can
perform independent maintenance within six months.
4. Community Engagement: Organizing workshops to educate the community on the
benefits of solar energy and maintenance practices, engaging at least 100 residents to
promote local ownership.
5. Water Access Improvement: Implementing solar-powered water pumping systems to
enhance irrigation and provide clean drinking water, aiming to increase irrigated land by
at least 30% within one year.

This project is expected to directly benefit approximately 4,960 students and their teachers,
improving educational environments and supporting community irrigation needs. The initiative
is projected to take 16 months and will require a budget of 180,000 Birr. By empowering local
communities and enhancing the reliability of solar energy systems, this project contributes to
sustainable development goals, fostering resilience and self-sufficiency in the region.
