Power of local innovation in expanding healthcare among rural communities

Norah Magero, co-founder and CEO of Drop Access, developed VacciBox, a portable solar-powered refrigerator for vaccines and medicines after experiencing power outages disrupting rural healthcare in Kenya. The innovation is locally manufactured for off-grid communities and helps healthcare workers deliver temperature-sensitive supplies to remote areas. Climate change exacerbates the need for reliable cooling, such as in Kakuma refugee camp.
