"It was difficult to learn on the computers because the generator was only put on for a few hours," says Joshua, a Compassion-supported child.

At Ochegen Child Development Centre in Uganda, solar power is transforming learning and project activities for children.

Before the intervention, the local church relied on an electric generator. Between power cuts and the generator breaking down, electricity was intermittent at best, meaning activities at the church-based Compassion project were often cut short.

Thanks to an intervention, a solar power system has been installed, powering a new sound system and computer lab. This means children like Joshua, who have no computer access at home, can do their homework and learn vital ICT skills at the church without disruption.

"I have learnt that God can do miracles past our own understanding, and we can grow in faith to trust God for bigger achievements and greater success for me and my family."
