a significant shift towards sustainable energy is taking place
Gebrüder Weiss
is at the forefront of delivering a top-tier photovoltaic (PV) system to the site
transforming how energy is used in the region
is spearheaded by the Comboni Missionaries
with Brother Erich Fischnaller taking the lead
To harness solar power for training workshops
enabling refugees to learn essential skills such as carpentry
This endeavour not only equips individuals with valuable expertise but also steers them towards a more sustainable lifestyle
Manager of Gebrüder Weiss Air & Sea Wolfurt says: “This is an exemplary initiative by companies in the region that helps to give the local population a perspective for the future – and it also makes ecological sense
"Solar energy instead of fossil fuels: a sustainable aid project that we are happy to support."
diesel generators were the main source of power for these educational workshops in the settlement
the entire operation benefits from a greener
a generous contribution from PV manufacturers and electrical engineering firms in Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein
is a standalone setup capable of producing up to 200 kilowatts of electricity
This substantial capacity ensures that the workshops can run efficiently and sustainably
providing uninterrupted learning and skill development opportunities to the inhabitants
The physical journey of the solar system begins well before it lights up lives in Uganda
its voyage starts from Wolfurt and extends via rail to Rotterdam
The journey continues over the seas to Mombasa
and concludes with a truck ride to its final destination in Uganda
In an impressive display of generosity and community spirit
Gebrüder Weiss provides this entire transportation segment from Vorarlberg to East Africa free of charge
This considerable logistical undertaking is made possible through the collaborative efforts of numerous volunteers who meticulously assemble
and pack the PV modules at the company's facilities
a key figure in coordinating this campaign
expresses his relief and satisfaction in having Gebrüder Weiss on board: "This simplifies the coordination processes for us and we can be sure that the solar system will arrive at its destination safely and on time."
The transfer of this solar system is more than just a logistical feat; it represents a symbiotic blend of regional collaboration and international expertise
By assembling resources and expertise from various sectors and regions
Gebrüder Weiss and its partners showcase a model of sustainable aid that could be replicated globally
The impact of the Solar Power for Palorinya project extends beyond immediate electricity needs
It lays the groundwork for a sustainable future
Gebrüder Weiss isn't just providing solar power; it's empowering individuals and fueling sustainable development
The drive towards sustainable energy solutions
especially in settings as challenging as refugee camps
With companies like Gebrüder Weiss steering the charge
the integration of sustainability in corporate strategies and humanitarian efforts reflects a promising shift towards a greener
