SolarAid has joined forces with the African Medical and Research Foundation and installed solar panels on the Ojom Health Centre in Katine.

The new system is lighting the entire building and powering a fridge used to store vaccines at a fraction of the cost of gas. On top of this, the centre is to be used as a mobile phone charging station for the entire community.

Dear sir/ madam
I have been interested in solar power in Africa. I am pleased to learn that solarAid exists and it is doing great job in same of the poor communities of some countries there.
Well done.
My question is where on the SolarAid web site I could go to read in details about the charity activities in Malawi,Tanzania and Uganda?
I notice that there is a Macrosolar Project Coordinator job offered in Kenya and you also have a similar project in Uganda.
Do you have a similar post on offer in Uganda now or in the future?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank
Christin
I am greatly impressed by what you are doing in Kenya, the project you have completed in Uganda. What are your future plans for Uganda? Do you any on going projects?
Iam asking this questions because of the dire needs we have for such Projects in rural Uganda, covering Schools Health Centres where there are no Grid Power.
I am also wondering how I or my small Company could partner with you such a noble cause to save the poor in my dear Country Uganda.
Best regards.
Sincerely
John.
