The cost of generator fuel is stealing education from children in remote island communities. For example, Togo village school (Qamea Island) has 102 students. It's annual budget is AUD9,000 (excluding teacher’s wages) to maintain school buildings and teachers' quarters, buy text books, stock the library, buy sports equipment and all other teaching resources. More than $2000 of that budget is spent on generator fuel. With the support of generous contributors we will install a solar power system so the money can be spent on the kids education. That boosts their education budget by nearly 25% and saves up to 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
