FRV and Pequeña Nowina

FRV installed 16 photovoltaic panels to provide a sustainable, permanent and safe source of electricity to the more than 300 women who are currently studying at the school.

This project is part of a collaboration agreement between FRV and Pequeña Nowina, a NGO that works for the dignity of the most vulnerable women in Sierra Leone, Africa.

The construction of this catering school is promoted by Pequeña Nowina, a non-profit organization founded by Cristina Martínez Caballero in 2012, along with the Clarissan Missionary Sisters. Pequeña Nowina was created after Cristina was involved in a previous education project, where she witnessed the harsh conditions for women in Sierra Leone first hand. From this experience, Pequeña Nowina was born with the mission to dignify the role of local women and girls and provide them with tools to be independent, free and self-sufficient.

Despite their size, they have been competing closely in bids with firms, which had different structures and abilities. This certainly shows their ability to be a strong market competitor. FRV has been a pioneer in market segments where no one had been before, and that has a lot of value.

FRV has always been a pioneer. From the first time they came to us 10 years ago, they really made an impact with their vision and La Magascona, which was a project of a huge magnitude at that time.
