Imagine living and surviving in a community without power supply. Learning is difficult, access to basic medical care is limited, businesses hardly make enough profit to make ends meet and homes are in the dark at night. The Rural Power-Up Project will provide clean power supply in the form of Solar power to 200 homes, 5 health facilities, 50 SMEs and schools in South-west Nigeria, which have been cut off from the national grid for over 8 years.
Two Villages in Nigeria have been cut off from the national grid for more than 8 years. Residents, especially those that are unable to afford alternative power sources (usually generators), are unable to establish or run their small businesses easily, get basic medical care, and the children are unable to study as they should. This has also resulted in the increased prices of commodities, over reliance on generators which has subsequently caused great economic, educational, and health set-backs.
Rural Power-Up Project provides clean power sources (solar power) to off-grid areas. Residents will enjoy power supply for their essential needs in the homes, businesses, schools and medical facilities while reducing emission of dangerous gases pollution caused by generators and fossil fuel.
The project will provide 200 homes, 50SMEs, Schools, and 5 medical facilities, with solar powered resources, yhereby improving their lifestyle by lighting up homes at night, encouraging the emergence and sustenance of small businesses, help their children to study better and easier, and better equipped medical facilities to improve their health care system and well-being.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
