Dulas – a worker co-operative of engineers, project managers and consultants developing renewable energy technology – has developed a solar powered DVD player for campaigning organisations to use in remote areas.
Dulas originally developed the prototype for SafeHands for Mothers, a campaign that provides support and training to frontline health workers in countries where maternal mortality and morbidity rates are high.
The solar DVD player can be used in remote areas where there is no electricity supply. Local health workers use the DVD to provide training in all aspects of pregnancy from prenatal to postnatal care.Dulas – a member of Co-operativesUK and winner of the Queens Award for Enterprise in 2004 and the Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy 2008 – works all over the world, helping to get renewable energy technology to those who need it.
As well as solar DVD players, Dulas manufactures and supplies solar-powered vaccine fridges for the safe transportation of vaccines to remote areas in Africa, Asia and Latin America and supplies water pumping systems and rural electrification for off-grid villages in remote areas across the world.
