-Harden critical infrastructure in the City of Chernihiv by supporting the installaation of solar on Maternity House KNP, a 200-bed hospital. The Rotary Clubs of Kyiv-Capital (Ukraine) and Babcock Ranch (Florida, USA) are working with the Net Zero World Initiative (NZW), a flagship international initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), implemented by DOE's national laboratories, led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). NREL has performed the engineering studies that establishes the needed size of the solar system and the costs. We are using NREL templates to structure a tender, and will make the project available to bidders who are members of the Ukraine Solar Energy Association. Our team's solar professionals will join Ukrainian solar experts to review and select the bid winner.
-Increase career pathways for Ukrainians by promoting solar job training and certification with Atmosfera Academy, a leading Ukraine solar installation training school, and several solar businesses. We encourage Rotarians to donate to this project through contribution to the Rotary Annual Fund for Paul Harris credits; please notify pat.strong.rotaryclub@gmail.com of your contribution to ensure proper credit.

$203,000
Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
