the word CERC is abbriviated from COMMUNITY ENERGY RESOURCE CENTER. this center is

Ngarenanyuki is a ward located to the east side of ARUSHA town, which is on the other side of the mount MERU. and far side there is Mountain Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in all the AFRICA.

The residencial people who are living to the Ngarenanyuki Ward are MERU'S and MAASAI the pastoralize normadic people who their main activities are livestock keeping, and agriculture and horticulture.

The main source of the energy to our sorrounding area is firewoods,charcoal, and gasoline fuel which are very expensive  for the our around here, so most of the people indulge in cutting trees, which is used for burning charcoal and as use as the firewood as our energy source, so we always cook by using fire, and kerosine for lumping during the night. so through BESTRAY project, now we are getting a relief from provision of the renewable energy which comes from the sources of the natural energy which is used from the SOLAR and the BIO GAS from the livestock fosil dungs.

COMPUTER is another help provided by our project, so we are able to learn the computer which is very interesting to us all, cause it is something which is new to us all here, once we where not able to learn and use the computer but now we know and be able to use it. which the electricity powering the computer is obtained from the solar system.
