Solar Suitcases - Elvira Gamboa

In Nigeria many women are having trouble giving birth and their babies are dying because of lack of reliable electricity. When the lights go out births either have to be lighted by flashlight, lamps, or flashlights, delayed until morning or women are turned away. Because of this Stachel made suitcase kits that have solar powered plates on it and lights to light births. More efficient ones have been made and now they are being spread to other area in the world.
