The question of the day is whether our classrooms will have electricity.
Today, I continue a series started three days ago. We (Congo Helping Hands) plan to build some new classrooms. Previously, I answered questions about whether these classrooms will meet building codes, the locations of the proposed classrooms, and whether these classrooms will have dirt or cement floors.
When built, would they be electrified? There are no power-grids in rural Congo. Only critical buildings like hospitals have solar and or generator-powered electricity. Lighting is the biggest need for electricity in the classroom. Adequate natural lighting will be planned and used. Natural lighting is abundant and free.
Even in major urban cities, electricity is limited. Most buildings in Kananga only have generator-powered electricity.
