Awassa, Ethiopia. July 12, 2011. Today we are pleased to announce that the Hawassa Children’s Center is 100% solar! This means solar energy powers the houses for the children, compound lights, the 25 computers in the lab and other devices. “This represents a giant leap forward and well use of a very kind donation by many good hearted Germans.” said Girma Melessa, Executive Director of the Children’s Center. “Promoting a truly sustainable approach, we now have clean water from our well, total solar power, large gardens for food, and planted hundreds of trees to help the environment and prevent soil erosion into Lake Awassa.”
