The project of the NGO Un Enfant par la Main aims to construct a maternity in the village of Sougoubili in Mali. This maternity will be equiped and electrified with solar energy.

On the long-term, the project aims to reduce infant’s mortality rate and improve medical attention of the new-borns. 

Testimonial

"The solar panel and the refrigerator helped in many ways. Before this we had a lot of problems to conserve medicine and we were only able to vaccinate people every 2 years.

Thanks to the electrification of every room the maternity can work better.

I would use a torch during the night to give medical attention to women which isn't the best condition to work."
