WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the Kalalé District of Benin, West Africa, basic health services are hard to come by. Historically, a lack of electrical infrastructure in this region has meant no power to pump clean water or refrigerate vaccines. That has now changed due to a recently completed project by the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), with funding from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)—an independent U.S. foreign assistance agency—and in collaboration with MCC's counterpart in Benin, the Millennium Challenge Account. Across the district, 24 solar-powered water pumps and five solar-powered vaccine refrigerators have been installed, now operational and serving the people of Kalalé.

Key Points: 
  • Historically, a lack of electrical infrastructure in this region has meant no power to pump clean water or refrigerate vaccines.

  • "Water access meets many fundamental needs of course," says Dr. Cardinal Akpakpa, a physician in the Kalalé District village of Gberougbassi.
  • "Reliable access to clean water will not only improve hygiene measures, but it is also critical for the prevention of waterborne diseases."
