8am.media · last updated

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced that across Afghanistan, sustainable solar energy is helping health and education centers provide their services reliably.

The organization reported on Monday, January 26, that in collaboration with the Sustainable Energy Services for Education and Health in Afghanistan (SESEHA) project, it has supported 126 health centers across the country and 22 health centers in Samangan province so far.

According to the report, these centers are now benefiting from solar energy to power medical equipment and continue their daily operations.

The United Nations Development Programme added that solar energy allows clinics to keep vital equipment operational and also enables schools to increase their teaching hours.

The organization further stated that through the “SESEHA” project, it aims to equip more than one thousand health and education centers across Afghanistan with sustainable energy by 2027, which includes clinics, schools, and hospitals.
