Blog #224: Opportunity Project – Solar for Tanzanian Clinics

We have initiated a new Opportunity Project, entitled “Solar for Tanzanian Clinics”.  In the Karagwe and Kyerwa districts of Tanzania, which have a combined population of 750,000 people, there are 2 hospitals, 8 health clinics, and 68 dispensaries.  The 8 health clinics are operating on low degrees of electrification, utilizing intermittent grid power or generators.  The AllPeopleBeHappy foundation has set ourselves the goal of solarizing all 8 clinics within 3 years.  After an initial need survey of all 8 clinics and a closeup study of 2 small clinics and 2 large clinics, we have specified and ordered the equipment needed to provide solar electrification and purified water for the large clinic Kayanga and the small clinic Kibondo.  Under the local management of Mavuno, the installation will be carried out in the second half of 2022 by OffGridBox.
