Life Innovation Container Donated to Village in Tanzania

In October 2011, Panasonic donated a Life Innovation Container, a stand-alone power system equipped with solar panels and rechargeable batteries, to Millennium Promise, an NPO dedicated to ending extreme poverty and working towards the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The container was developed to deliver electricity to areas without access to electricity throughout the globe and thus contribute to a better standard of living and the creation of a sustainable society. The container was set up near the elementary school of the Millennium Village of Mbola, Tanzania, and the power generated by the container is used for audiovisual education for children and also for mobile phone charging business.
