for Day Time Power Independance, cost $60,000

One huge challenge that we face at the Hospital is how to be able to pay for our operating expenses without depending on outside financing. We are trying to provide quality medical services in one of the poorest countries in the world, where 70% of the population survives on less than $2 per day of income. So when we charge $3 for a doctor visit, $16 for full prenatal care, $ 20 for a normal birth, and $80 for a C-Section, by State-side standards we are ridiculously cheap, but here it is for many a sacrifice to pay for this care.

Sample installation on small building (see picture).

And yet paying for the salaries of the Malian staff, high electric bills and other expenses exceeds our income. Our electric bills currently run about $ 1400 per month and that will only increase when the three new buildings are finished.

We have ordered a special roof for the new Surgery building that can easily support the necessary solar panels to provide for all of our daytime power needs. This would cut our electric bill by more than 50% for the next 25+ years! This investment would be a huge step towards allowing the hospital to be self-sufficient. Our goal is to establish a Hospital that will be able to function on its own. This system would be a significant step towards that goal.
