On Mfangano Island very few people have access to electricity, which is only available from diesel-powered generators.
GGCC's old generator. (click to enlarge)
GGCC has had a generator since 2004, making it one of a small handful of places in the vicinity with any power. They turn on the generator for a few hours each evening, powering lights for reading, a student computer lab, and computers essential to the school’s operation.
Unfortunately, GGCC’s generator has recently gone kaput. Naphtaly writes:
I can now report that our generator is completely broken down and therefore all our hopes of getting it back in use are no more. The situation is very pathetic as computer studies have stopped, printing of exams have stopped, [there is] no running water and lantern lamps are back!
Please pray for provisions to purchase a new $16,000, 33 KVA generator, and that it can be found quickly.
