In August 2016, JSI Research and Training Institute Inc. assigned the installation of Solar Lighting Systems in fifty Peripheral Health Units (PHUs) across Sierra Leone, to MAG Energy. Sollatek Glowstar Lantern was one of the products used to improve lighting at the centres.

The project was of critical importance due to its life threatening nature. Sierra Leone is currently unable to provide electrical supply to many areas around the country leaving health centres in those locations in complete darkness during late hours. This hinders the efforts of medical staff to treat patients properly at night and threatens the patients’ health. In some cases, doctors and nurses used torches, candles and mobile phone lights to tend to the patients’ needs.

MAG Energy chose Sollatek Glowstar Lantern and distributed 50 solar lanterns across fifty different locations. Glowstar’s brilliant lighting capability in areas where electricity supply is inconsistent and unstable, made it an obvious choice for the Health Centres in Sierra Leone. It is an easily chargeable emergency and security lamp powered by solar energy.

Sollatek is proud to be part of one more project that improves and brightens people’s lives. From now on Sierra Leone patients and doctors will not be in the dark.
