Chinese Government provides grant for Phase 1 of Light of Life Project (Linked to Project ID#64799 and #64877)

On May 26, 2016, the Chinese Representative Office in Ramallah, Palestine and the Give Palestine Association, a local non-profit charity, signed a grant agreement for the provision of solar energy to the poorest areas of the Gaza Strip in Palestine. The monetary value of this grant is unknown. Then, on October 6, 2016, the Chinese Embassy for State of Palestine announced that it had successfully installed solar panels in the town of Khuza'a (Arabic: خزاعة‎) within the Khan Yunis Governorate, which is located in the southern Gaza Strip. This marked the end of the project’s first phase. The ultimate purpose of Phase 1 was to provide electricity to 45 homes in the area. The Chinese Government also funded Phase 2 (captured in Project ID#64799) and Phase 4 (captured in Project ID#64877).
