In total, 11 buildings and 34 classrooms have benefited from clean and sustainable electricity since the beginning of the year. This programme enabled the 800 schoolchildren who benefited from it to return to the national education programme thanks to computers and video recorders that were also powered by solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>These two projects, partly funded by the ENGIE Foundation, were carried out in collaboration with Arba Minch University, which helped to transport Arba Minch&#8217;s equipment to the sites and provided a technician to assist with installation and ensure the project&#8217;s sustainability over time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dKU26R7MUkE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>An association of ENGIE Group employees<\/h2>\n<p>Created in Belgium by active and retired ENGIE employees, Energy Assistance brings together volunteers from the Group&#8217;s energy business sectors and power grid distributors.
