Power Kick for Africa

 

The WFC enabled football enthusiasts in the small non-electrified bush village of Oboadaka in Ghana to watch Ghana's group games at the Football World Cup on a large screen. This unusual public viewing was powered by solar energy and came in conjunction with a workshop on renewable energy policies for sustainable African development. The WFC's cooperation partner Energiebau Sunergy Ghana Ltd. has installed modern solar panels to power the public viewing and to give the village community hospital permanent and reliable electricity supply, medication cooling and modern communication facilities.

Below are some exciting images...
