We are honored to share insights from the recent solar briefing conducted by representatives from MRA HQ for the teachers of SK Sungai Tiang (Branch of SK Sungai Kejar), as well as for the ongoing maintenance of the system. This informative session was designed to deepen their understanding of how the solar system operates, ensuring they are well-prepared to address any potential challenges that may arise in the future. The aim was to empower these educators with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively oversee the continued success and sustainability of the system.

SOLAR SYSTEM: During the session, participants learned how to efficiently manage and monitor the solar system to ensure its optimal performance. They were introduced to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that would help them identify, troubleshoot, and resolve any issues that might occur, ensuring minimal disruptions. In addition, simple yet effective modules were provided to aid in the problem-solving process, making it easier for the teachers and local community members to handle maintenance tasks independently when needed. This hands-on approach ensures that they are equipped with the necessary skills to ensure the solar system’s longevity and reliability.

WATER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE: Alongside the solar system briefing, MRA Perak has also undertaken a comprehensive inspection and cleaning of the community’s water system. This important maintenance activity was carried out to ensure that the water system remains in excellent condition, providing the community with a reliable and safe water supply. Regular maintenance is essential for preventing future complications and ensuring that the community can continue to enjoy access to clean water without interruption. MRA’s proactive approach ensures the long-term sustainability of essential resources for the residents.

PRE AND POST-TESTING: To prepare for the successful implementation and management of these systems, both the teachers and local villagers participated in pre- and post-tests. These assessments were designed to gauge their understanding of the solar and water systems before and after the training. The results from these tests will help MRA assess the effectiveness of the training and ensure that the participants are fully prepared to manage the systems confidently. This feedback also allows for further refinement of future training sessions, ensuring they meet the needs of the community and are tailored for maximum impact.

Together, we are building a brighter, more sustainable, and self-sufficient future for communities in need. These initiatives are just the beginning, and we are excited to continue our work alongside these dedicated individuals to create lasting change. Stay tuned for more updates as we work to expand these efforts and bring more meaningful solutions to other communities. Join us in celebrating these impactful initiatives that are contributing to the overall well-being and empowerment of communities, while fostering a sense of ownership and pride in the resources they are now able to manage and sustain.
