The MPs had the opportunity to see how solar panels provide clean and reliable electricity to the school, health centre, teacher's residence and 45 other households. They also had the chance to see how a water pumping system powered by photovoltaics provides water to the whole village. This installation particularly benefits the women and girls who in the past had to walk 15 kilometres to fetch water. The project coordinator explained that the systems work even when there is no sun, as energy stored in the batteries provide electricity for up to three days. The Djabula community leader said that the population understands the benefits of the solar systems and that the beneficiaries are even willing to pay a fee for the services provided.
