For three years, Obawole community experienced an unstable power supply which severely disrupted healthcare services at its PHC— affecting laboratory tests, vaccine storage, clean water access, and exposing patients and staff to excessive heat.
In response to this issue, on 16th August, 2024, LEAP Africa in partnership with Dow Chemicals Team Nigeria, with Technical support from Moon Innovations mobilized 75 persons for a 1.5 km Walk to advocate for Clean Energy solutions. The initiative led to the donation of a 3.5kva solar panel (2200 Watts), a sphygmomanometer, and a weighing scale to Obawole PHC,
benefiting over 1,000 residents.
The Solar panel now provides consistent power supply, ventilation, and refrigeration for sensitive medicines and vaccines, significantly improving healthcare delivery and overall community well-being.
