Using off-grid solar energy to electrify health centers that lack reliable supply is an innovative and affordable way to ensure patients like Mwanakombo get the care they need no matter what time of day - or night - they arrive at the facility. #IWD2023

Giving birth in the dark? Not for Mwanakombo. Thanks to #OffGridSolar, she safely delivered her baby girl. But 280K women died during childbirth in 2020, 95% in low-income countries. is trying to change that.
