Solar Powered Hearing Aid From Africa
 Published: Jan 24, 06
 Views: 3,229

In an attempt to provide affordable hearing to the more than 200 million hearing disabled people in the world, Godisa has developed three hearing aids which use small batteries that can be recharged with a solar powered device.

“In 1992 the Solar Aid Workshop was started in collaboration with the Botswana Technology Centre to manufacture solar rechargeable hearing aids that could be used by hearing-impaired people living in Africa and other parts of the developing world. Recently Solar Aid changed its name to Godisa in line with the broadening of its product base. Godisa means to do something that is helping others to grow. Its objective is to develop practical technologies for developing countries and to create employment and training opportunities for hearing disabled people.” - Godisa.org
