The donation goes through the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), and Executive Director, Robert Freling, says: “We were very pleased to have been chosen by SolarWorld as a grant recipient. This very generous support will go a long way to saving lives by providing the clinics with a stable, 24-hour power supply, and at the same time it will help PIH reduce their operating expenses.”

SolarWorld says its Solar2World programme makes contributions to regional development in impoverished communities throughout Africa.
