Enriching students’ education with electricity
Today’s rising demand and limited capacity to generate electricity have created a real opportunity in Palestine to improve their children’s future. Empower Kids Palestine is a campaign to install solar power in K-12 schools while also training teachers and inspiring the children to learn about renewable energy and the science behind it.
At Empower Kids, every initiative meets an important need for those living in Palestine.
The Empower Kids program will fund the installation of new, highly efficient solar energy systems in an expanding number of schools. It is our mission to ensure Palestinian schools get the power they need while in session and, during off hours, send power to the grid for household and business use.
It is critical to provide dependable power to Palestinian schools in advance of creating Computer Labs on each campus, that will enable teachers and students to connect with the outside world and utilize distance learning platforms.
To ensure that Palestinian students are inspired by the science used to power their schools, Palestinian teachers are being trained in all aspects of the new solar energy systems as well as the associated scientific concepts. The educational dimension of the Empower Kids Palestine program is sure to help create new opportunities for our children and a brighter future for all of Palestine.
We're delighted that the PV solar technology was implemented on the roof, it was excellent and creative project that contribute in reducing the electricity bills of the school and increasing the awareness of teacher, pupils and community regarding the "green energy technology" and increase the positive environment in Alumeh School by reducing the CO2 emission.
We're pleased with this project, especially that today the world is moving to invest in clean and environment-friendly energy which is renewable energy. We were honored that our school be one of the first schools that operate on PV solar technology, which provided the school with sufficient energy to cover the daily energy usage but my ambition is to raise the energy to the maximum extent in order to install A/C unit and the school becomes a safe, attractive and friendly environment, also in addition to the PV project, providing the school with new computers helped teachers in creating new and varied teaching.
We’re delighted that we got this technology in the school, because this energy is clean and has enabled the Alrazi school to reduce the electricity bills significantly and also the installation of PV system alongside information display on screen is used as a learning tool for teachers and pupils; demonstrating some of the possibilities of clean, green renewable technologies in our communities to improve our environment and the energy efficiency.
The Palestinian people continue to strive for peace. In spite of the very few who would like to disrupt any plan for a peaceful Middle East, the vast majority of Palestinians have the same hopes and dreams as we do—for ourselves and our children.
Your support for school solarization, new computers, and new projectors for science labs will help us make a difference for these people who—like everyone else—deserve the very best.
