Gogo lives in a remote area of Swaziland. It is hard to find transport to the nearest health facility much less be able to pay for the cost when she needs to visit for her checkups and getting meds.
The clinic in Maphiveni makes sure this gogo and many others like her are able to access quality, compassionate and free health services. Without this free clinic, she and many like her cannot afford to access lifesaving care and medicines. To help lower operating costs and to ensure that the clinic can operate during frequent power outages, converting to a solar powered system is essential. A portion of the equipment needed is on site. The final supplies to begin the initial installation will be ordered soon. While the goal is independence from the local power grid, the initial installation helps moves us towards this goal!
Gogo receives free medical care that is made possible in part due to the ability to power the clinic building and offices by solar. Any reduction in overhead costs means more people can be served at the clinic for free. Moreover, in communities hard hit by poverty, this means more lives can be impacted and literally saved.
