About this project

Located in Baysville, Eastern Cape, South Africa, the school is for learners who will thrive in an environment focused on practical skills rather than a mainstream academic curriculum. The video above, from a neighbouring province in South Africa, gives some insight into what a "School of Skills" is all about and how they operate.

Learners are typically placed for 4 years and half their time is devoted to a technical subject. A range of studies include office administration, hairdressing, educare, woodwork, panel beating, welding, upholstery and spraypainting.

The aim is to complete an NQF Level 1 qualification if possible. This school enables learners to apply for Further Educational and Training (FET) institutions to further their studies. Learners have a wonderful opportunity to reach their full potential at Baysville.

Baysville School of Skills’ vision is “Victory through discipline, perseverance and total commitment”. The school also has hostel accommodation, with additional related energy needs.

All permissions and approvals are in place for this project, so installation can start very soon after the crowdsale completes.

Impact and benefits

Buying solar cells in this project is supporting a school to go solar and save on energy costs so that the school can further invest in learners and educational resources and significantly reduce carbon emissions for 20 years.

This will be a solar plant equipped with a battery storage system, meaning less disruption from power outages experienced during the country’s electricity black outs.
