Worldwide, many communities still lack access to reliable sources of power hindering healthcare, education and economic opportunities. By ensuring access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy, we can help to eradicate poverty and hunger, creating sustainable cities and industries with better opportunities whilst also tackling climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2019, in collaboration with our charity partner GRID Alternatives<\/strong><\/a>, RES volunteers from around the world have travelled to Nepal to install renewable energy systems that bring clean, reliable power to community initiatives in some of the country\u2019s most underserved areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the Kathmandu Institute of Child Health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October 2024, for the fourth time, our volunteers from around the world came together in Nepal, this time to bring solar power to a non-for-profit children\u2019s hospital in Damak. Kathmandu Institute of Child Health (KIOCH) delivers integrated multispecialty high-quality child healthcare, free of cost, to all children, thus advancing the quality of life for children in Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institute is building a satellite hospital in each of Nepal\u2019s seven provinces to reach more remote communities and make children\u2019s healthcare accessible to everyone. The first satellite hospital, KIOCH-Damak, was built in the Jhapa district. With its general, emergency and cabin beds, NICUs, PICUs, operating room and clinics, hospital in Damak aims to provide healthcare to the region which is home for more than two million people. Ten RES volunteers supported the installation of a 31.68kW grid-tied solar electric system with lithium-ion battery backup for emergency loads for the KIOCH-Damak hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
