- Jubaili Bros and partners donate a 10KW solar energy system to a care foundation in Koforidua, Ghana.
- The plant will enable the Foundation to reduce the challenges of poor power supply.
Renewable energy solutions supplier JUbaili Bros, in collaboration with Huawei and ewia Green Investments GmbH, has gifted a 10KW solar energy system to the Glorious Hand Foundation in Koforidua, Ghana. This facility will aid the Foundation in meeting its energy demand and reduce the challenge of electricity bills.
The Foundation, currently using a 1.5KW solar power facility, is expected to rely on the 10KW solar system for adequate energy needs as the organization expands.
As part of the gesture, the donors added a 5KWh storage battery system to the solar installation to enable the Foundation to have a 24-hour power supply. According to the Head of Solar for West Africa at Jubaili Bros, Sampson Amanyo-Zickson, the company is excited to deploy such a facility for the Glorious Hand Foundation. “Solar power is the ideal solution for organizations such as NGOs with little or no financial capabilities to pay electricity bills,” he said.
The Finance Director of ewia Green Investments, Timo Schafer, noted that his company’s interest in solar power is necessitated by the quest to utilize and harness solar resources to develop several sectors of the economy, including health and agriculture, among others.
The Director of the Foundation, Apostle Thompson Nkansah Ajabor, said the Home, which began in 2014 at Breman Asikuma by a Germany-based Ghanaian, Beatrice Domevi, currently has about 240 children. “The number of children at the Foundation in Koforidua is increasing, making the arrival of the solar project very timely,” he said.
The Foundation, Apostle Nkansah explained, supports HIV patients and children, malaria cases, and incidents that deprive children of going to school. Obrempong Okyeame Bonsu of Jumapo in the New Juaben Municipality, who chaired the occasion, said global occurrences such as climate change have increasingly called for innovation in using green energy resources. He lauded the initiative and gesture from Jubaili Bros and its partners as ideal and community-focused.
