Background/History

Though the DRCongo has one of the biggest dams in the world, most of the towns and villages are in the dark.
And 3/4 of villages in North Katanga are not supplied with electricity.
What is striking is that surgical operations in hospitals situated in rural areas are done with candles and the conservation of some vaccines is not good as no refrigerator can work in these areas.
Nevertheless the church has managed to give some generators in 4 medical formations.
The problem seems not to be solved since generators consume much fuel which is too expensive.

Goals & Objectives

Install solar panel system in 74 UMC clinics in North Katanga in 4 years starting in 2012 up to 2016.
Install solar panel system in 4 Institutions of higher learning (UMC University in Kamina, Institut Superieur Pedagogique in Kamina, Mulongo Teachers' Training College and Kabongo University) to enable them to get connected to the internet and have language labs at work.

Activities Plan

Select 4 clinics, hospitals, and health centers in each district.
For the coming 4 years, 4 institutions of higher learning are targetted: UMC Kamina University, Institut Superieur Pedagogique de Kamina, Mulongo Teachers' Training College, and UMC Kabongo University.
