Solar DVDs for Ethiopia
Solar vision - Educational DVD Player
Developed in 2006 for the SafeHands for Mothers campaign in Southern Ethiopia, the equipment is providing support and training to mothers in areas where the maternal mortality rates are high. SafeHands trainers find it an excellent educational tool encouraging interactive training in all aspects of pregnancy from prenatal to postnatal care, bringing direct benefits to mothers in real terms.
Midwives are showing their DVD "The Big Push" in order to educate mothers on ante and post natal care. The trainers are finding the DVD player to be a valuable resource that aids their important work.
The easy to use all region compatible DVD player is powered by a 12 volt battery that is charged via the folding solar module allowing a playing time of up to four hours. Available in either a professional robust wheeled flight case (with larger 17 inch screen) or a backpack which is lighter and more portable with an integrated DVD and smaller screen.
