The campaign “solar energy for Ukraine” aims to provide Ukrainian hospitals with an alternative energy source when the main power supply is cut off. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, blackouts have become quite frequent in the country. In response to this, Ecoclub, a Ukrainian environmental NGO decided to launch a fundraising campaign to provide solar energy to Ukraine’s hospitals.
Russia has carried out eight massive waves of attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. That is the cause of the blackouts. It is a big issue for the all population but also for hospitals. Sometimes, doctors have to perform complex procedures with only headlamps. By using solar energy, hospitals will be able to operate in power outages and provide doctors with a backup source of electricity.
