Our campaign: Powering Health in Nepal with Clean Energy

Rural health facilities in Nepal serve as the primary health care source for thousands of people. But they often lack reliable access to electricity.

These off grid facilities can only function during day light hours, provide minimal services, and are unable to store vaccines and medicines safely with out dependable cold chain storage.

Poor energy access means simple health problems can escalate quickly and become life-threatening for the people who rely on these facilities.

With your support we can ensure:

14 health staff will be better able to operate and maintain clean energy systems, health equipment, water filtration systems, handwashing stations and improved toilet facilities.

Over 9,000 people living in seven energy-poor off-grid rural communities in Nepal’s Gorkha District will be able to access quality 24/7 healthcare underpinned by clean energy solutions by 2025.

How will we do it?

We’ve already installed solar systems in 23 remote clinics in Nepal and Kenya, benefitting over 47,000 people who would other wise have to travel miles to reach the next nearest health facility.

With your support, we will install solar energy systems, alongside refrigeration and other energy-enabled equipment in a further 7 rural facilities where there is an urgent need, by December 2025.

We will do this in partnership with local government partners and health staff to ensure the systems’ long-term sustainability.
