Finally an amazing night view ! Almost 2 years after the first visit to Hakwata community. Delivered the promise on energy access to the community. Celebrating a milestone of powering up the off grid solar minigrid. Great partnership from @UNDPZimbabwe@UKinZimbabwe@REF_2002 .
Through this contribution, ZERA is not only providing electricity but also empowering individuals and communities to tap into new possibilities. Access to electricity will create opportunities for education, healthcare, economic growth, and overall wellbeing.
This step is a significant stride towards ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their location, have equal opportunities to benefit from electrical services.
The surplus funds provided by ZERA will play a vital role in the efforts to electrify rural areas in Zimbabwe. By extending access to electricity, these initiatives will light up communities that have previously been without this essential resource.
In a significant and generous move, the #ZERA has officially handed over its surplus funds as of 31 December 2022, which were recorded in the electricity account. This act of goodwill is aimed at supporting the Rural Electrification Fund (#REF) initiatives in Zimbabwe.
This week, @REF_2002 is training the Mashonaland West SHE committee to strengthen the implementation of safety, benefits, and health of engineers and linesmen.
