Solar Lighting for St Joseph Busia Girls School

Solar Power Program - St. Joseph Busia Girls, Burumba Ward
October 14, 2025

On October 14, 2025, the Osiya Foundation visited St. Joseph Busia Girls in Burumba Ward, Matayos Sub-County, and handed over a solar power system to a school that was more than ready to receive it.
St. Joseph Busia Girls is a school full of young women who are working hard and dreaming big. What they needed was an environment that could keep up with that ambition. Unreliable electricity is a quiet but persistent obstacle; it interrupts study time, limits what teachers can do in class, and sends a subtle message that a school is not fully equipped. Solar power changes that message entirely.

The installation handed over that October morning will help ensure that the school runs on its own terms. Consistent, clean energy that does not depend on an unreliable grid or run up costs the school cannot afford. For a girls' school, that kind of stability matters in ways that go beyond electricity; it signals investment, it signals belief, and it signals that these students and their futures are worth showing up for.

Every girl at St. Joseph Busia deserves a school that works. The Osiya Foundation is proud to have taken one more step toward making that a reality.
