MAKINDU, Kenya, July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- GivePower, an award-winning nonprofit helping meet
the world's water and electrification needs, is thrilled to
celebrate its longstanding partnership with leading solar module
manufacturer, Silfab Solar. Since 2020, Silfab has donated 1,955
solar panels, powering projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC),
Angola, and now Kenya! Last month, the Makindu Solar Water
Farm Mobi+ opened in Makueni County, Kenya, providing access to clean drinking
water to over 26k people.
"Silfab Solar is proud of our partnership with such a remarkable
organization as GivePower, as we strive to deliver clean energy and
sustainable solutions that can empower communities across the
globe. As a leading solar module manufacturer, we are excited to
witness the positive and tangible impact solar energy and this
collaboration can have on so many lives" remarked Paolo Maccario, President & CEO of Silfab
Solar.
This four-year partnership began with the development of three
solar installation projects at the Congo Peace School and Garamba
National Park in the DRC. Supported by Congo Power and Google,
these projects collectively powered over 1,000 households and
businesses, improving the lives of 3,982 people. Additionally,
their donations supported the Okavango Delta project in
Angola, in partnership with Wild
Bird Trust, by installing solar panels that powered local community
centers and approximately 900 homes across 21 surrounding
villages.
"We are very grateful for our partnership with Silfab Solar,"
said Michele Magee, President of
GivePower. "Our work together reflects our shared commitment to the
proliferation of clean renewable energy sources around the world.
We are thrilled to assist in meeting marginalized communities most
basic need with these solutions."
