LONGi, one of the world’s largest solar technology companies, and Senergia, a leading Swedish wholesaler of solar energy, teamed up to support the non-profit “Project Vita” by donating a solar-powered freshwater system for a maternity clinic in the village of Linga Linga in Mozambique. After constructing a water tower and installing LONGi solar panels on the roof of the clinic, the team was able to power a water pump that continuously fills the water tank, providing freshwater to the maternity clinic. The lack of fresh, running water remains a major problem in many parts of Africa. Sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to improving people’s standards of living and, at the same time, decreasing maternal and infant mortality. 58 babies have been born in the Linga Linga maternal clinic since the project was completed in May 2024.

Michel Olofsson, founder of Project Vita, commented: “When we were asked by Morrumbene’s Mayor to build a maternity clinic, we knew that providing basic hygiene standards would be equally important. We are very grateful to have partnered with Senergia and LONGi to accomplish this important solar-powered water solution project. While it is widely recognized that access to running freshwater is a basic human right, it remains the exception in rural areas of Africa, even in maternity clinics where hygiene standards are required for the safety of mothers and children.”
