Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

As part of their efforts to improve the local community around the Mulilo De Aar Wind Power Project, Longyuan donated ZAR 4 million donation to provide an ambulance in January 2020. The medical bus was repurposed for Covid-19 applications in March 2020. Longyuan also announced that they would spend an additional ZAR 5 million each year to support the daily operations of the medical bus and to provide free medical services for 25,000 local students as well as poor special groups. This investment is part of Longyuan South Africa's goal to contribute ZAR 15 million each year to the community to promote the development of the local economy. Other projects that Longyuan has undertaken include those related to culture, education, medical and health care, skills training, and other public welfare undertakings in the community.
