Forty talented young women engineers from rural Sindh are stepping confidently into the future of renewable energy!

Under the LADIESFUND Solar Roof Installation Training Program at Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET), Jamshoro, these women gained hands-on expertise in solar roof installation, system maintenance, safety standards, and leadership skills—all crucial for Pakistan’s sustainable energy journey.
