Solar Power Transforming Lives at Fiji School

A solar system will transform the education for generations of kids at the Ratu Meli Memorial School in Fiji.

Solar energy is about to become a reality at the Ratu Meli Memorial School in Fiji.

Ruth Donoghue, a teacher has been raising money with the help of the Its Time Foundation and Blue Lagoon beach Resort to make their dream of solar power a reality to help run the school.

Donoghue said the wheels are in motion and Its Time has promised the Ratu Meli memorial School is next in line for solar power, after three installations at schools in the north east of Fiji are completed. Donations make these projects, both monetary and in kind, result in exceptionally high quality long lasting infrastructure delivered at low cost.

A solar system will transform the education for generations of kids at the school. They will have a modern computer education with the 24 hour power and the money saved on fuel will create cash flow to buy more laptops and other resources.

The teachers’ quarters and dorms will also have reliable power, which will improve the quality of life for people at the school.

There has also been labour donated to carry out the new wiring required for this project in the school from a company in Melbourne. This is amazing and we are hoping for more donations like this to be forthcoming over the next few months.
