As part of its efforts to support education, strengthen community resilience, and support essential facilities, Dan for Relief and Development Foundation implemented two solar energy installation initiatives at Milaj West School and the mosque in Jazrat Milaj village from 28 to 30 September 2026

The two initiatives aimed to provide sustainable energy sources that help ensure the continuity of essential services and improve the educational and community environment amid frequent power outages.
At Milaj West School, the “Light of Knowledge” initiative provided a sustainable source of energy to support the continuity of the educational process and improve the classroom environment for students and teachers.

At the village mosque, the “Mosque Lantern” initiative aimed to ensure continuous lighting, operate sound and ventilation systems, and provide a suitable environment for worshippers and children participating in Quranic circles, while also supporting awareness-raising and community activities.
Both initiatives included the installation of solar energy systems consisting of:
6 solar panels, each with a capacity of 620 watts.
A 4,200-watt inverter.

A lithium battery for energy storage and ensuring continuity of operation.
Electrical breakers, cables, and necessary connection and protection equipment.
Inspection and trial operation to ensure the systems’ readiness and efficiency.

The “Mosque Lantern” initiative also included awareness sessions and volunteer campaigns highlighting the importance of maintaining the solar energy system and mosque facilities. These activities involved youth committees, the Women’s Committee, and village residents, strengthening community responsibility and contributing to the sustainability of the project.
From the school to the mosque, Dan believes that investing in clean energy is about more than providing electricity. It contributes to supporting education, improving community services, strengthening social cohesion, and promoting a culture of responsibility and volunteerism—helping communities build more sustainable solutions
