Solar Jooce Partners with Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)

The Redeeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) - Abundant Grace Parish, Portharcourt - has signed on to sponsor a total of 180 solar hanging lights/phone chargers across communities in Rivers state. Over a period of 6 months or less, the Abundant Grace Parish, led by Engr. Nosyke Okoye, will identify rural healthcare centres and other recipients to whom even the most basic lighting is crucial.

Nosyke says: "It is good to note that Solar Jooce & RCCG seem to share the same passion for doing something for the “unserved and underserved” in our nation. It is also noteworthy to mention that there is a greater emphasis in the RCCG to pursue and fulfil corporate social responsibility, by giving back and impacting on the society in more than spiritual ways".

We flagged off the Solar Jooce-Redeemed partnership by setting up a solar appliance at the Wakama-Ama Community Health Centre (Ogubolo Local Government Area), about 1 hour's drive away from Port Harcourt.
