Completed Project – 3

From 2022 to 2023, Kaalo Nederland implemented the Basic Educational Facilities II Project, a critical initiative aimed at improving educational infrastructure in remote and underserved areas of Puntland.

Many schools in these locations lacked access to reliable electricity, making it difficult to conduct effective teaching, use modern tools, or even print exam materials. Furthermore, children in these areas had no access to computers, leaving them disconnected from the digital world and at a disadvantage compared to their urban peers.

Project Highlights:

• Five schools were equipped with solar energy systems and computer labs
• Each school received:
  • 10 solar panels
  • 8 dry-cell batteries
  • 1 inverter system
• A fully functional computer lab was established in each school, providing students and teachers with access to digital learning tools.

Beneficiary Schools:

1. Daawad Primary School – Eyl
2. Uusgure Primary & Secondary – Eyl
3. Iftiin Boarding School – Kalabayr
4. Garyaqaan Primary & Secondary – Garyaqaan
5. Sinujiif Primary & Secondary – Sinujiif

Impact:

This project directly contributed to:

• SDG 4 – Quality Education: by improving access to modern learning tools and creating a conducive learning environment
• SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy: by providing sustainable, off-grid electricity to schools
• SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities: by bridging the education gap between rural and urban students
