SOLAR POWER IN HAKU
The Hako Women’s Collective (HWC) has been funded to obtain and install a Solar Power System which will provide low cost, reliable and renewable energy to the five buildings which HWC uses to provide services – the Library/Office; Luman Hipakoko (Community Centre); the Agricultural Hub; the Women’s Safe House and the new Men’s Hub.
This project is being jointly funded with the Indigo Foundation.
The project will enable HWC to expand its programs and services, especially in the evening. Women and children’s safety will be enhanced as reliable power will be supplied to the Women’s Safe House 24/7. The environment will benefit from less use of diesel fuel and HWC will save from a big reduction in the funds needed to buy diesel.
