Alebtong District is situated in Lango region of Northern Uganda, a new district carved out from Lira District in 2010. Northern Uganda was heavily inflicted by LRA insurgencies over the 20 years with around 2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) created and social service delivery destructed. Since 2006, the security in the region has been improving and the resettlement of IDPs progressing; however, the resettlement has been difficult due to the delay in reconstruction of the public infrastructure. Lango region is one of the most heavily affected regions by the conflict. St. Teresa Girl’s Secondary School promotes girls’ education as the only boarding secondary school in Abako sub-county. However, there is no stable electricity available in the area, thus putting the students in a difficult situation for their studies and living. This project will install solar panels and related electric facilities, thus improving education and living conditions, benefiting 366 students of the school.
