Solar partners support newborns and mothers in Africa with solar-powered fresh water installations

Linga Linga, Mosambik (ots) –

LONGa solar technology manufacturer, and Senergiaa wholesaler of solar energy, have partnered with the non-profit organization “Project Vita” teamed up to donate a solar-powered fresh water system to a maternity clinic in Linga Linga, Mozambique. This initiative includes the construction of a water tower and the installation of LONGi solar panels to power a water pump that fills a water tank and supplies the clinic with fresh water. The The project, completed in May 2024, has already benefited 58 newborns.

Michel Olofsson, founder of Project Vita, emphasized the importance of hygiene in maternity hospitals and highlighted the partnership’s role in addressing the lack of fresh, running water in rural Africa, which is crucial to reducing maternal and infant mortality.

Anton Öbrink, Senergia project manager, pointed out the severe lack of access to electricity in Mozambique, where 99% of Linga Linga’s population lives without electricity. He emphasized the importance of direct, effective aid in such impoverished regions.

LONGi Europe Marketing Director Daniel Ong praised the project’s significant impact and described solar energy as a transformative force for rural areas in Africa. He highlighted the reliability and efficiency of the solar modules used under challenging climatic conditions.

Community projects with local communities

Project Vita worked closely with local authorities and community members to identify and implement the best solutions. The construction of the maternity hospital marked a significant milestone for Linga Linga, where women previously had to make arduous journeys to the nearest health facility. The clinic now provides prenatal and postnatal care and significantly improves healthcare delivery.

Impact of simple off-grid energy systems

The solar powered fresh water system is crucial for reducing infection risks during birth and improving daily operations. Despite global declines in maternal mortality, rates in Africa remain high. Michel Olofsson confirmed the life-saving effect of such installations.
