Feedback from Solar Lamp Recipients
James Yisa, our local guide across 9 states during our 36-state road expedition, gives feedback about the impact of Solar Jooce solar lamps to a benficiary community
James Yisa is the hardworking owner of an NGO (Centre for Health & Development in Africa) and was our decdicated Northern guide during Solar Jooce's 36-state Solar for the Masses expedition. He sent in the email below, reporting on the impact our solar lamp donation was making on a particular recipient community (Danchitagi village in Niger state):
"We were at Danchitagi community last week, and the solar lamp donated by Solar Jooce is really making a remarkable impact on the lives of the community members."
Here is an axcerpt of James' report:
The Community Health extension worker (CHEW) of Danchitagi Primary Healthcare Centre noted that the [solar] lamp has not only made their work easy but has also increased patronage and quality of services at the health facility compared with when they had to rely on touch light and hurricane lamp. He added that the lamp has also saved the cost of having to buy kerosene.
The lamp which has become a thing of wonder to some while others call it a magical lamp has not failed to attract the attention of the community members.
[The CHEW] noted that a number facility staff working in health facilities within the neighboring communities like Ebangi, Gbade, Jima, Sausa and Edobaba who have had or seen the lamp have expressed their delight and would appreciate if Solar Jooce could extend the kind gesture to their own health facilities.
