The Brusch&Ritscher Foundation enables the construction of a school center in Kaolack/Senegal, resulting from a school and town partnership between the Lower Saxony town of Osterode and Kaolack in northwest of Senegal. VoltaViewAfrica supports this project by installing a powerhouse system to supply electricity and drinking water.
In November 2023, the first system components were brought to Kaolack, and the assembly and installation of the system took place in May 2024. The system is now operational.
