Vivo Energy Ghana, the Shell Licensee, in partnership with United Way Ghana and Academic City University College, has launched an innovative sustainable development initiative called the Green4Clean Schools Renewable Energy Project for schools in its communities. The launch included the donation of solar lamps to all final-year students at La Enobal Basic School and La Presby Primary School A&B to ensure they have a reliable light source as they prepare for their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in July.
Under the theme “Building a Sustainable Future,” the Green4Clean Schools Renewable Energy Project aims to empower students with a comprehensive understanding of various renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy. Through innovative educational programs and practical demonstrations, the project aspires to inspire the next generation to embrace sustainable energy solutions, raise awareness about environmental challenges, and promote sustainable energy practices within schools and the broader community.
