Solar power makes public broadcast in Ghana possible

24.06.2010: During the half-time break of the World Cup football game between Germany and Ghana on 23rd June the charity World Future Council (WFC) officially handed over a solar power installation to the village of Oboadaka in Ghana.

The solar power plant made it possible for around 7,000 people from the area around the village, who have no access to the public electricity grid, to follow the World Cup games of their national team. The photovoltaic installation, which was provided to the village by WFC and their cooperation partner Energiebau Sunergy Ghana, will provide the local hospital with electricity after the World Cup has finished. The remaining parts of the public broadcast equipment, such as the beamer, screen and loudspeakers, will be given to the village school. The World Future Council, with its headquarters in Hamburg, Germany, is financed through donations
