Responding to the request of Amchit Municipality in June 2024, MIF illuminated the main entrance of the village, stretching from the highway to Amchit Square (St. Mary’s Church), with solar-powered street lights. This project was designed to promote energy efficiency, while simultaneously addressing multiple important needs within the community, contributing to both the safety and aesthetic appeal of Amchit.
The decision to install LED street lights was driven by MIF's commitment to sustainable development and environmental responsibility. Beyond the environmental benefits, the primary objective of this project was to enhance safety and security in the area. Well-lit streets are proven to reduce the risk of criminal activities by increasing visibility and creating a sense of security for residents and visitors. In addition to its security benefits, MIF’s lighting initiative aimed to improve the overall visual appeal of Amchit. By illuminating the main entrance and surrounding areas, the project enhanced the aesthetic value of the town, making it more welcoming for residents, tourists, and visitors.
This project meets the immediate needs of the community and aligns with MIF’s broader mission of promoting sustainable, safe, and aesthetically appealing local development. By improving both the functionality and appearance of Amchit’s public spaces, MIF’s intervention enhances the quality of life for residents, nurtures a sense of pride in the town, and contributes to the overall development of the region.
