Asharami Energy Senegal, a subsidiary of the Sahara Group, has successfully implemented a solar-powered energy solution at the Daaray Serigne Saliou Mbacke orphanage, leading to significant savings of up to 500,000 CFA in monthly electricity expenses.
Empowering a Foremost Orphanage
The Daaray Serigne Saliou Mbacke orphanage, situated in Kounoune, is a prominent institution providing a home to over 100 children.
