Alger, Algérie-24 Juillet 2014- A l'occasion du mois sacré de Ramdhan, GE Volunteers en partenariat avec le Lions Club universitaire Alger Hope et le Lions Club universitaire Saberinelle ont organisé une collecte de dons alimentaires destinés aux familles démunies d'Alger. Cette opération a eu lieu du 1er au 15 juillet et a permis de récolter avec succès plus de 700 kg de denrées alimentaires.
Tamanrasset, an Algerian city of nearly 100,000 inhabitants in the heart of the immense Sahara Desert, seems like it’s far from everything when observed on a map. Located around 2,000 kilometers (some 1,200 miles) from the capital, Algiers, Tamanrasset is connected to the rest of the world mainly by the trans-Saharan road that crosses the largest desert in the world, from northern Algeria to Niger and beyond to the south. Food is transported mainly by road and sometimes by plane. But what about another resource that is indispensable: electricity?
Building a First-of-its-Kind Facility in Africa
It all started with what seemed like an impossible dream sometime in 2013: to bring to Algeria’s High Plains city of Batna an advanced manufacturing, assembly, digital, service and repair center for the power generation sector that could be a shining beacon of what was possible not only for the country but also for the African continent.
The North African country of Algeria is blessed with natural resources, including 12.2 billion barrels of oil and 4.2 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, most of which are buried deep beneath the broiling sands of the nation’s southern regions. What this mostly desert country is not blessed with, though, is an abundance of water.
