Thanks to your generous support and the help of our partners, RAM now has solar panels!
The system is powerful enough to support the entire Sablone House during the day. For the evening and nights, four large tubular batteries were installed.
This project was crucial to our ongoing work due to constant power outages in Pakistan. Often, the power is out for 8-10 hours.
Even when the power is on, the current is irregular, so it is often unusable anyway. We frequently had to cancel scheduled sewing and computer training classes. This caused delays in our students completing their courses.
Because of the new system, we will not need to worry about power outages anymore and our electricity costs will be greatly reduced.
