In the heart of increased financial difficulties and lowering standards of education, stands a beacon of innovation and sustainability, thanks to the vision and generosity of a distinguished alumna of the Holy Child School - HOPSA 1999, RED ladies. 

The Holy Child School, a revered institution known for its commitment to excellence and holistic education for girls in Ghana, has taken a giant leap into the future with the completion of a groundbreaking solar energy project. This initiative, costing about US$120,000.00, has not only underscored the school's dedication to sustainable development but has also positioned it as a pioneering force in environmental stewardship within the educational sector.

A visionary project with tangible benefits

At the core of this transformative project is a state-of-the-art solar power installation boasting an overall capacity of 46.75KWp, complemented by a robust 75KWH BYD Lithium-Ion battery storage system. This cutting-edge technology ensures that the school is powered for up to 12 hours on full load, purely on stored solar energy, marking a significant milestone in its quest for energy independence.

The impact of this initiative is both profound and far-reaching. Remarkably, the school has witnessed a 70percent reduction in energy costs since the project's completion in November 2023. This substantial savings translates into more resources for other activities that hitherto, had been neglected due to lack of finances. 

This goes a long way to enhance the quality of education offered to the girls. But the ambition doesn't stop here; the ultimate goal is for Holy Child School to become a net producer of energy, creating a sustainable cycle that not only benefits the school but also contributes to the community, through the net metering project being embarked upon by the Ministry of Energy in Ghana.
