1SBD Emergency Fundraising to purchase a Generator for @ecodesigns
400 Steemians purchase a generator for @ecodesigns
Green greetings Steemians,
Please we have an emergency need and want to run a fundraising for @ecodesigns to purchase a Gasoline Generator worth about $500 to power the machines of @ecodesigns which is a textile recycling and fashion designing hub of @thegreens that is training young girls for free.
You can check the Generator online
We will very much appreciate if 400 Steemians support us with 1SBD or more to achieve our goal.
The reason we are doing this emergency fundraising is because for over a month now the city of Bamenda and the North West as a whole hasn't had electricity and from our inquiry, we learned it's due to the current socio-political crisis plaguing the English speaking regions of the country.
I (@mr-greens) will post more about the crisis whenever I find power or a generator to charge my laptop coz I am writing these blogs from my phone and I use my car to charge it.
We have had a total city blackout since Saturday.
For more than one month, @ecodesigns hasn't been able to effectively function due to the power failures and we think it's wise for us to get a generator now coz the future is very uncertain when it comes to electricity supply in the region.
You can send your 1SBD or more to @ecodesigns.
Thanks for your support and steemnerosity!

how long will the gen set be running each day approximately?
3 - 5 hours daily so as to minimize fuel cost and environmental impact. Solar would have been awesome but it's super expensive to install one here in Cameroon
hmm... could you give me some details about what kWp and daily kWh you need?
Because Solar PV should break even vs. a petrol or diesel gen set after one or two years as the diesel is so expensive...
and the 3-5 hours are at what time of the day? is it totally of grid or you just run the gen set if the grid is down?
Sending some SBDs over to you as soon as possible. I have to re-steem your post for sure too. Good luck in the future with everything good that you do.
