Project 18-2021-22

Project Name:
Rotary Solar Case - Shining the solar light (RAOAF)

Country:
Papua New Guinea

Description:
The Rotary Solar Case is a compact high power battery bank designed in conjunction with Durst Industries (Aust.) Pty Ltd and Rotarians for use in remote regions, with an initial focus on PNG. ​It has been developed, first and foremost, to provide light in remote health centres, aiding health workers where the availability of electricity is problematic at the best of times in the delivery of babies and treatment of women at and after birth. The ability to provide portable lights for village birthing assistants is a major priority in areas where women often give birth in village huts or village health centres where the light from kerosene lanterns or mobile phones is otherwise the best available alternative. Lighting can also be used in village community settings and education.

Tax Deductibility:
Rotary Australia Overseas Aid Fund (Managed by RAWCS) has Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) registration and has been listed as a Charitable Fund so we can accept tax deductible Donations from individuals or organisations.
