2024 Project Summary
A grant of £1000 to support the rehabilitation of solar panels at Ndemera Health centre, Nsanje District, in order to re-establish electricity supply and pumped water for the facility.
Linnet Matope, Director with JECON Church, explained that the health centre is in a very rural location and is not connected to the national grid. Electricity therefore has to be provided by solar panels but these were damaged in the heavy rains and strong winds caused by Cyclone Freddy. The health centre has been operating with out a power supply and only relying on candles and hurricane lamps, but with health care services are disrupted people at being placed at risk.
