Sakura Girls Secondary School has successfully commissioned a modern institutional Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) energy system as part of its strategic transition toward clean, efficient, and sustainable energy use within the school environment.
The LPG facility was generously donated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Technical design support and clean energy system expertise were provided by KAGLA Vaportech Corporation. Implementation coordination was undertaken in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, ensuring alignment with national energy policies and regulatory standards. Local installation, system configuration, safety compliance verification, and commissioning were professionally executed by Manjis Logistics Limited.
The installed LPG system supports large-scale institutional cooking and centralized water heating for student dormitories. The transition from biomass fuels to LPG significantly enhances operational efficiency, occupational health, and environmental sustainability by:
-
Eliminating indoor air pollution and smoke exposure in kitchen facilities
-
Phasing out reliance on firewood and charcoal
-
Reducing deforestation and pressure on terrestrial ecosystems
-
Improving meal preparation efficiency and timeliness
-
Ensuring reliable provision of warm water for boarding facilities and student hygiene
This intervention contributes to Tanzania’s national clean cooking and energy transition agenda and supports broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in advancing sustainable energy adoption within public educational institutions.
Sakura Girls Secondary School expresses its sincere appreciation to the Japan International Cooperation Agency, KAGLA Vaportech Corporation, the Ministry of Energy, and Manjis Logistics Limited for their collaborative partnership and technical support in delivering this transformative clean energy infrastructure.
