solar-powered boat schools

In Bangladesh, India, during monsoon season, rain pour over the city and hundreds of schools have to shut down.

The organization Shidhulai Swanirvar sangstha built solar powered boat schools to provide uninterrupted education year round.The simple floating structures are made of locally-sourced natural materials, and each boat is equipped with rooftop solar panels, a small library with electronic resources, and a laptop with internet connectivity.
