Powering Health Facilities in Rural Maasai Communities

The world’s major health goals cannot be achieved without universal access to quality health care. This is especially true in areas where health systems are weak and under-resourced, as these areas are where the majority of preventable maternal and child deaths occur. One important, but often overlooked, building block of health service delivery is the availability of electricity in health facilities. This is no longer the case for the two health facilities of Eltukai and Eluwai villages where with the support of Shine Campaign, ELICO Foundation managed to install and commission two solar microgrid to power lab equipment, refrigerators, and lighting for the entire facility throughout 24 hours a day. We are so pleased to see these two facilities with sufficient and reliable power where women can more safely give birth at night in well-lit delivery rooms, medical equipment can be powered and better sterilized and clinics can preserve life-saving vaccines for newborns, children and adults. #PoweringHealthFacilities #Healthcare #RenewableEnergy #Tanzania #SDGs
