Solar Lighting for Bukhalalire Primary School

Solar Power Program - Bukhalalire Primary School, Marachi Central Ward
September 9, 2025

Look at the photo and you will understand immediately. Hundreds of pupils, row upon row, stretching all the way back to the school buildings, all of them gathered on September 9, 2025, to welcome something their school had been waiting for.

Bukhalalire Primary School in Marachi Central Ward, Butula Sub-County, is clearly a school with a big, present, engaged community. And on that morning, every one of them showed up.
The solar panels handed over by the Osiya Foundation that day are now part of this school's story. They sit where the children can see them, a visible reminder that someone invested in this place and that the school invested right back by showing up in numbers.

For a school this size, reliable power is not a luxury. It is essential. More pupils mean more classrooms to light, more equipment to run, and more teachers who need a functional environment to do their best work. The solar installation at Bukhalalire meets that need in a way that is clean, sustainable, and built to last.

What stands out about this handover is the sheer scale of community presence. This was not a quiet transaction. It was a school-wide moment, from the youngest pupils to the older students filling every corner of the compound behind them.

The Osiya Foundation is honored to have served a community this vibrant. Bukhalalire Primary School has everything it needs to thrive, and now it has the power to match.
