Solar Energy Project

Our next big project for the medical clinic and guest house building is the Solar Energy Project.  We have very exciting news in regards to this project!  The Sierra Leone Alliance through the Chapel at Crosspoint has generously donated $25,000 to our Solar Energy Project.  What a blessing!!  We need roughly $40,000 in order to have this project completed.  All of our power/electrical needs will be supplied via solar energy with a back up generator installed as backup for emergencies.

We have a contact in Sierra Leone who designs and installs Solar Energy Systems.  We were able to meet with him during the October 2013 trip.  So far, he has been great to work with by providing us with all our options, and taking into careful consideration the solar energy needs for our buildings.  He also has been providing us with a lot of guidance in other areas of need as well.  He works closely with a number of NGO's in Sierra Leone and has been doing this for over 10 years.  We look forward to this continued partnership!

If you are led to give to our Solar Energy Project, please go onto the donation page on our website at http://www.jrchc.org/Support/Donate.aspx.  Under 'purpose' select 'Global Outreach - Sierra Leone' and under 'other' write 'Solar Energy Project.'
