Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On May 26, 2016, the Chinese Representative Office in Ramallah, Palestine and the Give Palestine Association, a local non-profit charity, signed an agreement for the provision of solar energy to the poorest areas of the Gaza Strip in Palestine. On September 26, 2018, the Chinese Representative Office in Ramallah announced an agreement for stage 4 of the project, donating more solar panels through the Give Palestine Association in Umm al-Nasr (north of Gaza), Palestine. At this time, the engineering staff at Give Palestine started the project of providing 65 homes in Umm al-Nasr with solar energy. Installation of the panels was completed on February 11, 2019. The funds for the project were said to have been provided by the Chinese Embassy. This project records Phase 4 of the Light of Life Project and is linked to Record ID#64717 (phase 1 of the project) and to #64799 (phase 2 of the project).
