ElectricAid continued with another bumper funding round in November 2022. We have committed €168,000 to 15 excellent projects. This outreach is only made possible by your sustained generosity, and that of ESB and EirGrid. You should all take a bow and pat yourselves on the back!
Education in all its forms is a key driver of sustained development – and recognised as such by parents all over the Global South. This time around, we have committed €42,000 to 6 projects, such as upgrading teacher training in Uganda with VMM, delivering tailoring and business skills training in Tanzania with World Vision, and building a dormitory for a school for blind children in Ethiopia.
As ever, basic infrastructure and WASH* projects are prominent in November’s funding. We supported a sanitation project for a nursing school in Liberia for SJOG Foundation. We continued our long-term relationships with SERVE and Concern respectively for their regional “Water for All” programme in Mozambique, and a WASH project in Burkina Faso. The provision of clean water and decent sanitation save countless lives all over the Developing World – ElectricAid has a long and proud history here.
Other notable fundings included €10,000 for COVID vaccine roll-out in Kenya, €15,000 for emergency response and rehabilitation after the volcanic eruption in Rwanda, and €12,200 for a food security and climate resilience project in Uganda.
As always, our thanks goes out to our implementing partners – and to you, who make it possible. As we approach the Christmas “season of giving”, please spread the word – ElectricAid remains the most effective and efficient way of reaching out to those in need, at home and abroad.
