Power up Gambia provides solar power or Gambian hospitals

Imagine: A hospital without constant electric power, without constant running water, unable to use an incubator or a microscope or perform surgeries or safely store vaccines and blood. Imagine: A simple solution.

It's all about power and light. With the installation of solar panels, the Sulayman Jungkung General Hospital, in Bwiam, The Gambia, will have a reliable power supply to provide clean running water, power to run incubators, use electronic microscopes, and perform surgeries, day or night, when needed. Refrigeration means vaccines can be safely stored and a blood bank can be established. The hands of the hospital's staff are tied without solar panels to provide critically-needed power.

Imagine you have the power to make this happen.
