The Batwa Solar Power Project aims to provide access to electricity to the Batwa community near Mount Gahinga Lodge. The Batwa were displaced from the Mgahinga area in 1991 to create a national park for the gorillas. Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust built a permanent village for the Batwa community and their families.
Electricity is the first step to improving the welfare of these households, it is essential for a family to progress, to allow school-going children to read in the evening and for families to access information.
Guests are invited to donate a solar panel to a family. A donation of $200 covers the cost of purchase, transportation and installation. Our target is to provide 20 Batwa homes in the village with solar panels by the end of 2022. Please help us achieve this goal.
