FRV > 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.
