Aishat provides antenatal care in Kebbi State, Nigeria, with light from a Solar Suitcase donated and installed by We Care Solar and facilitated by the USAID Integrated Health Program and the Kebbi State Ministry of Health. The transition to clean energy, including mobile solar devices, creates an opportunity to increase access to electricity in Nigeria, even in the most remote areas, supporting more pregnant women to access 24/7 services to safely deliver their babies at a health facility and contributing to reducing maternal and child mortality.
