Summit Energy, a solar installer, celebrated its company anniversary by announcing the donation of a kitchen, classroom, bathroom and solar system to the Montessori Orphanage and School in Tanzania. Once the construction is solar-ready, the firm will install the solar system. Every year on or around September 19, the company’s founding day in 2016, Summit Energy celebrates Summit Day by exhibiting acts of kindness in the community domestically and internationally.
The Montessori orphanage and school in Tanzania serves over 300 children with minimal resources. This organisation provides housing, food, and schooling to orphaned children in the area. The Teachers at the orphanage get just $300 yearly as compensation. Meanwhile, there are about 36,000 orphans in Zanzibar alone and over 1.6 million in Tanzania. This year, Summit Energy’s Cofounder and Chief Empower Officer, Eric Israelsen, and James Truax, Chief Revenue Officer, along with several family members, travelled to the Tanzania orphanage, volunteering to help with the construction.
Israelsen said, “We are keenly aware that as a participant in the renewable energy space, we share a responsibility with other similar-minded organisations to elevate humanity and make the world a better place. We are committed to becoming all we can be as a company and as individuals. Impact projects, like the Montessori orphanage, provide opportunities for us to step out of our regular day-to-day activities and come together as a team to give back, serve, volunteer, and make a positive impact in different and new ways while reminded of the good we do as a team every day.”
