Orphanages, like these in Haiti, are in desperate need of a reliable electricity generation. With only one working solar panel, they are unable to keep lights on, or safely store food.
GridZero is providing solar generators to its first Haitian orphanage this year!
Introducing solar power to an orphanage without any existing source of electricity would bring about several transformative benefits. Firstly, it would provide a reliable and sustainable source of energy, ensuring consistent lighting for the children, improving safety and overall quality of life. This includes the ability to study after dark, enhancing educational opportunities. Additionally, solar power would facilitate the operation of essential appliances like refrigerators for food storage and water purifiers, promoting better health and nutrition. It would also enable the use of electronic devices and computers, expanding access to educational resources and digital learning tools. Moreover, solar energy would alleviate the burden of using hazardous alternatives such as kerosene lamps, reducing fire risks and improving indoor air quality. Overall, solar power would significantly enhance the living conditions, education, and well-being of the children in the orphanage, providing a foundation for a brighter future.
