Since 2018, Good Sun has engaged in fundraising efforts for the Queen Elizabeth Nursery & Primary school in Kihihi, Uganda. To-date we have donated over $8,000 to help build school classrooms, infrastructure, and for the purchase of school desks and chairs for the students. In the fall of 2019, Good Sun traveled to Uganda to help build two new classrooms for the school. We purchased and installed a small solar system that provides electricity, lighting, and USB charging for internet connectivity to the school. While there we also purchased bed mattresses for the younger students so they don't have to lie on the hard ground during nap time, and jerrycans to help with bringing water to the school. In the winter of 2019 Good Sun sponsored a second solar unit for the school.
Future projects in this community include a proper latrine at the school, a solar thermal component that could be used to distill water for drinking and sanitation, a possible water well or water catchment system, and ongoing donations of books and school supplies. To provide project support and make a donation, please contact us.
While in Uganda, Good Sun also visited the Bwindi Community Hospital, founded by Dr. Scott Kellerman, also from Grass Valley. We were able to donate two remote solar lighting & communications units to help the hospital when they engage in home visits & remote medical work. With our CEO, Eric Stikes, working toward a master's degree in sustainability at Harvard University's School of Extension Studies, Eric and Andrew of Good Sun engaged in community discussions, interviews, and studies related to wildlife conservation and community development.
