In the remote regions of Skardu, access to consistent electricity is often a luxury. For a student, a power outage isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a lost opportunity to learn. At BSW Foundation, we’ve harnessed the power of the sun to ensure the lights stay on and the learning never stops.

Milestone Update

Switching to 24/7 Sustainable Light

Since 2019, our rooftop solar grid has been the silent guardian of our students’ academic schedules.

Midnight Study Sessions

Before the solar installation, unexpected load shedding often forced students to study by candlelight or stop altogether. Now, the entire hostel is illuminated throughout the night, providing a safe and stable environment for late-night exam preparations and reading.

Echo-Friendly Education

By reducing our reliance on the local grid and diesel generators, we are teaching our students the importance of environmental stewardship. We aren’t just giving them light; we are showing them a cleaner way to live.

Uninterrupted Hope

“The solar system changed our routine. We no longer worry about the power going out. We can study whenever we feel most productive, even if it’s 2 AM.”
