For five years, Anyajua Integrated Health Center served more than 10,500 people without reliable electricity.
In the hills of Boyo Division, this health center is the first—and often only—point of care for thousands of families.
Yet for years, healthcare workers delivered essential services under one major constraint: the absence of reliable electricity.
Without power, vaccines could not be safely stored, critical diagnostic equipment could not be fully utilized, and families often traveled over 10 km to Fundong, spending 4,000–5,000 XAF on transport to access healthcare that should have been available in their own community.
For the 15–20 expectant mothers who visit the facility each month for antenatal care and delivery, every night brought uncertainty. Would there be enough light? Would essential equipment be available if complications arose?
Today, that reality is changing.
CAASDEV has installed a 5 kVA solar photovoltaic system, restoring reliable, clean electricity to power an echography machine, biochemistry analyser, vaccine refrigerator, microscope, 30 lighting points, a laptop, and a television—more than 6,045 watts of essential medical equipment.
This transformation was led by six young technicians trained through CAASDEV's Solar Bright Future Youth Green Skills Program, demonstrating how investments in youth skills can strengthen health systems and transform communities. To ensure long-term sustainability, four community members were trained to operate and maintain the system before it was officially handed over to the Head of the Health Center.
At CAASDEV, we believe energy is not a luxury for healthcare—it is a necessity.
Reliable electricity means safer childbirth.
Reliable electricity means life-saving vaccines remain effective.
Reliable electricity means healthcare workers can provide the quality care every family deserves.
Anyajua's story is one of hope. But across Cameroon, many rural health facilities are still waiting for the same
