Solar equipment is crossing Lake Malawi to Likoma

By Kathryn Garnett | Project Leader

Dear supporters,

Since my last report there has been a change of government in Malawi, which led to further delays in getting the solar equipment moving to Likoma Island. For example, we were required to make a new application for import duty and VAT exemption. But we continued to persevere and it is (literally) with great joy that I write to tell you that the equipment is today on the Ilala Ferry on its way to the Island. The installation engineers are also on the ferry, so the work is about to begin.

I am looking forward very much to writing again with photos of the completion of phase 1. The main hospital buildings will have 24 hour power soon.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Best wishes, 

Kathryn
