Help Bring Solar Power and a Community Center in Ghana

Tax deductible
After five years of work, the Bompaso Community Center & Solar Project is in its final stage — and we are just $5,000 away from completion.

With your help, we will bring reliable solar electricity to a community that currently has no access to power. This project will:
• Provide clean, reliable solar electricity
• Train local community members in solar installation and maintenance
• Open a community center designed by and for the community that will include:
✔ A meeting space for collaboration and community events
✔ A small library and study space for students
✔ A health clinic with refrigeration for essential medicines

In partnership with Twende Solar, the solar PV system will be installed in March 2026. Hands-on training for local residents to ensure long-term sustainability will be provided by Dream Renewables, a Ghana-based nonprofit.

The total remaining cost to finish the building is $14,000.
The PACE Ghana Board has already committed $9,000.
We are asking for your help to raise the final $5,000 to complete:
• Electrical wiring & installation
• Ceiling work
• Plumbing
• Washroom tiling
• Interior and exterior painting
Every gift moves this project across the finish line.
$25 helps wire a room.
$50 helps install plumbing.
$100 helps complete clinic space.
$250+ accelerates full completion.
This is the final step. The plans are ready. The training is scheduled. The community is waiting. Please help us bring light, learning, and healthcare access to Bompaso.

Donate today and be part of making this possible.




The Community 

Bompaso is a rural community of about 500 farmers and ranchers in the Oti Region, in eastern Ghana. Educational infrastructure is limited and students walk many miles to attend school. Bompaso has no access to electricity and residents depend on kerosene and wood for all energy needs and walk several miles to charge their cell phones. Bompaso’s people are inspiring. While facing the daily challenges of poverty, they approach new opportunities with hard work and commitment.
