El Limon water electrification project - installing solar panels

Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/02/2008 - 17:35
This week the community in El Limon will work with Rob Matthews to connect the solar panel installation to the electric pump in the well that supplies El Limon with its water. This will mean a dramatic cost saving for the people who receive water via this system because they will no longer be dependent on a diesel powered electric generator. We are grateful to the Barr Foundation of Oklahoma,USA, to the family of Fiona Graham in England, to Karen King in Luxembourg and to the Rotary Club of Toronto Leaside in Canada for making this project possible
