It has also distributed nearly 400 schools with solar energy.  <\/p>\n<p>Figures from the Ministry of Infrastructure indicate that 73% Rwandans have access to electricity. Of these, 50% are connected to the main-grid while 23% use off-grid energy.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-44982 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
