IRS990/Desc0The following programs were conducted in 2024:Our non-profit organization is dedicated to helping impoverished and disadvantaged communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo achieve self-reliance. We focus on implementing reforms in key development sectors such as education, entrepreneurship, electricity, and agriculture. Our tagline, "Education, Energy, and Entrepreneurship for All," encapsulates our mission to empower local communities and foster sustainable progress. In 2024, we undertook various field projects in villages near Kinshasa, including Menkao, Kingakati, and Mpanoka. The Sankuru province was targeted for solar photovoltaic electrification of hospitals, enabling cold storage of medications and sterilized equipment for surgeries. Our team also emphasized entrepreneurial training for small-scale farmers and rural entrepreneurs to help them access markets and enhance their livelihoods. These efforts aim to address the longstanding challenges faced by the Congolese people, such as unreliable electricity, limited access to quality education, and the struggle for economic self-sufficiency.Solar Photovoltaic Electrification:One of our key initiatives involved installing solar photovoltaic systems in rural health facilities to provide reliable electricity for critical services. In the province of Sankuru, we collaborated with local authorities to equip several hospitals with solar-powered systems, ensuring the availability of refrigerated storage for essential medications and an ability to sterilize medical equipment. These interventions aimed to address the lack of power that has compromised the quality of healthcare delivery in these remote village areas. The deployment of solar solutions in these underserved communities has had a tangible impact on the lives of patients and healthcare workers, empowering them to provide better care. A $10,000 photovoltaic system was purchased and installed in the rural market of Djalo village in June 2024, providing a lighting system to extend the daily hours of business operations for local businesses. In July 2024, two 5-kW solar microgrid systems were installed in the rural hospital and the primary school in Mbakana village of the Maluku region, in the DRC Bateke Plateau. In August 2024, a 15-kilo Volt-Ampere photovoltaic system was purchased and installed in the General Hospital of Lodja, in Sankuru province of the DRC, for approximately $18,000. A similar investment was made in the Lubefu Hospital of Sankuru province to electrify the rural health center with a 12 kVA system purchased and installed for close to $14,000. Similar 12 kVA minigrid photovoltaic systems were deployed from October to December 2024 in the health clinics of Katako-Kombe, OshingUntu, and Bukama villages of Sankuru for approximately $13,800 each.Education, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM):In 2024, we partnered with local schools and community centers to establish STEM education programs in several villages and rural cities of the DRC. In Kinshasa, we collaborated with local schools and universities to train teachers in modern teaching methodologies and provide access to digital learning resources. Dr. Avoki Omekanda, President of the Light Up A Village organization, made several trips to the DRC to actively contribute to these valuable efforts. At ISTA University in Kinshasa, Dr. Omekanda set up science laboratories and computer labs to expose students to hands-on learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Light Up A Village organization contributed approximately thirty thousand dollars to ISTA-Kinshasa to establish mini-tuition grants of less than $300 each, assisting thousands of students from low-income families, especially female students.Agricultural Activities:The Light Up A Village (LUV) organization has rented nearly 50 hectares of arable land in the villages of Mpanoka, Menkao, and Inko, and has provided funding to purchase seeds f
