Energy For Opportunity - Solar Power in Sierra Leone (West Africa)

This documentary is about the work of Energy For Opportunity (EFO) (www.energyforopportunity.org) in Sierra Leone, where it implements small-scale solar projects in rural communities. The specific project in the documentary, was funded by AusAID through the Australian High Commission in Ghana, and involved the installation of solar electricity at four sites: a school, a health clinic, a community centre and a hospital in the villages of Kamakwie and Kamalo. Students from the local Government Technical Institute (GTI) and National Power Authority (NPA) were involved in this project as a part of the courses they take at their respect institutes, which EFO helps to facilitate. This documentary is a Padi Mix Production.

Hi everybody, this is Mustapha speaking from America. I'm really grateful for the implementation of solar energy power in Kamakwie. This program means a lot to me and of course the people across Sella Limba Chiefdom. I pray that Allah will continue to bless you guys and Kamakwie as well...........I'm more than happy to hear and see progressive job like this in the interest of the less-unfortunate group or family member in the community.

Nice video. Good to see the people who will also do the installation at the St. Martin's orphenage in Port Loko. EFO is indeed a very nice organisation to work with.
