More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Currently, there is no power grid or electrical infrastructure to serve the population or the clinic. Several thousand people will be direct beneficiaries, being able to receive medical care day or night. There will be about 5 - 6 full time medics at any given time at the clinic. Today they have to rely on flashlight at night, cannot store or provide vaccines, or positively identify diseases.
Activities
Technical design is complete. Local partner BGET will procure the equipment, help install it, and train the medics in the installation, operation and maintenance of the system. The communities will provide unskilled construction labor.
