Sustainable solar project near Equator (GBP)

Hi, my name is Elwyn and I'm helping the Ubuntu Model Primary School in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in Uganda. This is a self-sustaining school founded by a local organization called Global Refugee Initiatives and entirely funded by the private sector so far.

We started with an open piece of land, where we now grow crops, We have dug a well and sunk a borehole; and built two school blocks. Most pupils are the sons and daughters of refugees from South Sudan, and the Eastern DRC. - Meals are provided, but are all cooked on open fires.

We have plans for a tablet based ICT Lab., power assisted kitchen facilities, laptops for teachers, and security lights for safety; but all these need Off-grid Electricity. I have specified a system and selected a local contractor who will use the best proven technology, under my expert supervision. - We need about 25,000,000 UGX, which is about £5,000 - please help. Last year we had 200 learners, now we have 500. There is an ever growing need.
