Why This Matters
A classroom above 42°C is not a place to learn
Vijayawada regularly sees summer temperatures above 42°C, and community schools with frequent power cuts and no battery backup lose entire afternoons to heat. Depleted groundwater and unmanaged rainfall add a second, quieter strain on the same campuses.
The Challenge
Heat, Power Cuts, Dry Wells: Three community madrasas serving 1,200+ students face poor roof insulation, unreliable grid power and no battery backup, alongside groundwater depletion that rainwater harvesting could directly address.
Our response
Solar, Water, Green Cover: Planned hybrid solar systems with battery backup, rooftop rainwater harvesting, and student-led green campuses across six schools — designed to run and be maintained locally.
Our programs
Two ways we're building resilience

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What donors most often ask about our solar, water and green-campus work.
Will the solar system work during a power cut?
Yes. The hybrid inverter can run in off-grid battery mode, sustaining classroom lighting, fans and one air-conditioning unit per site independent of the grid.
Who maintains these systems once installation is complete?
School Institutional Management Committees are trained on maintenance before handover, with a two-year Annual Maintenance Contract covering major servicing.
