A project carried out by SolarAid in a Ugandan remote town (Katine) is now providing power supply to the town's health-care centre.
The solar panels power up the health centre's lighting system and also its vaccine fridge ensuring the proper storage of vaccines.
Moreover, community members can also charge their mobile phones at the health centre. The residents pay a fee for the service they receive that is used for maintaining the operation of the solar panels.
The NGO (SolarAid) and the Katine community were actively involved in the implementation. The donation to realize the project came from the Guardian newspaper & a US rock band.
I think this project is a good example that shows the successful partnership between NGO, Donors & the Community.
