Fantastic news - Solar is powering St Peter's

Dear Supporters,

I am overjoyed to tell you that the installation of solar power at St Peter's Hospital is now complete and the power supply is constant and reliable. 

As you can imagine, this has transformed patient care and will save many lives. 

There is now power for the clinical officers to see to perform operations. The vital, life saving medical equipment can be used whenever needed. Solar enables the hospital to have constant refrigeration, meaning that drugs such as anti-venom for snake bites can be stored. There is now also a solar blood bank. The hospital has never before had electric power at night and constant lighting will hugely improve the patient care given.

Thank you so much for donating to this project and making all this possible.

With very best wishes,

Kathryn Garnett
