For those who wonder how we get by in Sonsoro without electricity, today I am offering you a small glimpse. Below are two photos of our vaccine refrigerator at the health center. The cooling is powered by kerosene, hence no electricity required.
A similar system applies to the refrigerators in the town's
buvettes, the local drinking establishments that offer beer and soft drinks. Instead of kerosene, they attach a gas tank to their refrigerator, the same gas tank that would be used to power a gas stove.
