The power situation in Eswatini continues to deteriorate and become more fragile. Eswatini imports almost ¾ of its electricity from neighboring South Africa. South Africa continues to experience sever load shedding (Level 6 just last week) because of insufficient capacity and generation problems.
Unfortunately, the health needs of the communities we serve do not depend upon electricity availability. So besides saving the clinic money by installing a grid tie system, we will also be contributing (albeit in a small way) to the stability of the regions electricity grid.
An additional motivation to contribute now to the system installation is the current exchange rate as it hovers around 17:1. At this rate we really only need about $11000 to complete the initial installation.
Any help towards this goal will help the outreach as well as the region.
