SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
South Africa has been battling an ongoing energy crisis for 15 years, which means that the MADaboutART community face ongoing 'load-shedding' (power blackouts). Without power the community centre cannot provide a warm refuge during the cold wintertime, the kitchen equipment and fridge stop working, there's no light and the internet goes down - making it difficult for the MAD team to continue their work.
Installing a solar panel, with battery storage, will help to provide energy security for the MAD community to thrive. Working with a local supplier we estimate the costs to be £2,500/ R50,000 to cover the initial purchase and installation. We also plan to create a painted roof mural on the theme of the sun, sky and sustainability as an educational project with the MAD kids - we'll share photos and updates with our donors.
