Announcing Winners of the Half the Sky Contest
Here is the excerpt:
Laura Stachel, WECARE Solar
A California obstetrician has co-founded a volunteer organization of doctors, solar designers and lighting/communication specialists who devise solar-powered solutions for maternal health facilities in Africa, and are now field-testing a system in Nigeria and Rwanda. Without adequate electricity, hospitals in such under-developed areas often lose moms and babies who would have otherwise lived.
Congratulations Laura.
GoldenGadgets.com started supplying WECARE Solar in August 2009 with 12V DC LED Light Bulbs for her solar powered solutions. The WECARE Solar prototype uses our L-39F 12V DC, L-60F 12V DC, and our L-120F 12V DC LED Light bulbs to provide lighting for maternal health facilities.
