In the Municipality of Kukra Hill, located in Nicaragua’s South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region, the Education for Success Program (EduÉxito) teaches the course on repair and maintenance of electrical appliances, aimed at 14 young people, including three women.
Since the training started three weeks ago, the young people are currently practicing with community-owned appliances. At this stage of the course, the boys and girls already know how to detect an appliance’s failure and how to solve it. The service also includes cleaning and preventive maintenance of any household appliances.
21-year-old Shellyanne Henríquez (right) is originally from Kukra Hill Township and one of the girls participating in the appliance repair and maintenance course. For Shellyanne, “there is no science to repair electrical appliances,” in the photo, she listens very attentively to the resident Lidia Obando explaining the problem with her fan, which luckily only needs a change of the plug cord.
The most common problem in household appliances is resistance, says the instructor. This is due to the instability of the electricity in the community, and you just have to replace it, and it will be like new. In addition to fans, the boys and girls of the class also received rice cookers, coffee makers, microwaves, and electric cookers from the population.
