Story

Imagine a day without power.

In rural Uganda, fewer than 1 in 4 people have access to electricity. But in the Masindi district where Compassion works, this falls to just over 3% of the population.

Power the future by helping us install solar panels to benefit 1,325 children.

A Barrier to Education

For six church-based Compassion projects that rely on temporary generators, power cuts, breakdowns, and expensive energy bills significantly impact the lives of 1,325 children.

It's hard to study after dark, access vocational skills training or become computer literate without a reliable, cost-effective power source.

Compassions staff are also adversely affected, travelling up to 38km to access power and the internet to carry out critical administrative tasks. Additional travel time takes them away from serving the children in their care.

Access to a brighter future

You can power the future by helping us install solar panels to benefit 1,325 children.

Your funding will enable Compassion to install solar power systems across six church-based Compassion projects.

The lives of 1,325 children will be transformed, improving their education and allowing them to enjoy activities at their Compassion project without disruption.

Additionally, Compassion staff will have more time to spend with the children in their care and high electricity costs will be reduced through this clean, renewable energy source.
