Solar Power for Healthcare Facilities
$500 = $1,000
Helps equip two health centers with solar panels amid ongoing electricity shortages. With funds saved, clinics will be able to provide better care to more patients, even after it gets dark out.
“We’ve been suffering from the crumbling electricity sector — the whole country has. We depend on electricity. As we were one of the leading providers of vaccines for children in the region and our fridges required constant electricity. And our generators had to be turned on day and night to safeguard the vaccines, despite the unbelievably high costs.”
