COVID-19 Health and Education Support

In Mozambique, Scatec converted containers into health and education facilities in order to respond to the consequences of COVID-19 in the community.

The challenge

COVID-19 negatively impacted the lives of the people and communities living around our Mocuba solar plant. Due to a lack of infrastructure in the sectors, our local communities lacked proper health and education facilities.

How we worked together:

A local company was contracted to refurbish containers, converting them into 7 health facilities and 2 education facilities. The upgraded facilities adhere to COVID-19 recommendations and reduce pressure on existing facilities.
