KhwendoKor Organizes One-Day Refresher Training on Solar Management, Maintenance and Safety under the HERA Heat-to-Cool Project

Under the HERA Heat-to-Cool Project, Khwendo Kor organised a One-day refresher training on Solar Management and Maintenance at the Khwendo Kor Regional Office, Mathra, for 10 solar beneficiaries. The session was facilitated by a technical consultant from HH Tech Green Energy Company, who provided practical guidance on the safe operation, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting of solar systems. Beneficiaries actively participated in the session, raised questions, and clarified their concerns regarding proper maintenance and safety measures to minimise the risk of equipment damage and potential hazards. As a generous gesture of social responsibility, the consultant donated their consultancy fee of PKR 10,000 to Khwendo Kor Education, contributing towards educational support for vulnerable children.
