What do the power stations do?
Without power, the simple can become deadly. You can’t power a medical device, communicate in an emergency, run a water pump, or even keep the lights on. These risks are elevated in the mountainous regions of the island, and in the low-income barrios: the challenging terrain and the lack of resources make it challenging to repair electrical grids destroyed by a storm.
The power stations will offer a portable, clean, alternative power-source for their users. Each power station can be recharged in a variety of ways—including solar power.
Each station can power potentially 12 devices simultaneously. They are rechargeable, reusable sources of energy. They can power laptops, cell phones, lights, water filters, refrigerators—most electrical items you can think of. And with your help, we can deliver these batteries to first-response teams, health-clinics, and high-risk families that need them now.
