In-progress project
Creating renewable energy
Installation of air conditioning with sustainable energy through solar panels for 12 classrooms at Juntos Podemos Academy
Direct beneficiaries: 238 children and youth from vulnerable populations in Curundu.
Indirect beneficiaries: Mas de 238 familias en el barrio Curundú a los cuales los programas de la organización Juntos Podemos impactan.
Why is it so important
Our challenge
75% of our students are children between the ages of 4 and 15 who attend the academy to access bilingual education. In a tropical climate like Panama with 92% humidity, students and teachers attend 4-6 hours of classes under high temperatures, making the learning dynamics more challenging. As for now, the available resources have not been sufficient to equip the classrooms with air conditioning, cover the associated electricity costs, and upgrade the building's electrical system to increase its capacity.
To address this need, we propose: The installation of solar panels that provide the electrical and energy requirements for the air conditioning in the classrooms without increasing the monthly electricity costs.
