Make solar water heaters the standard in msf projects
Electric water heaters (boilers) for showering and cleaning consume a lot of electricity. Solar water heaters provide hot water free of charge and with minimal energy consumption. An initiative to replace electric water heaters in MSF projects by solar ones can have an important impact.

Of course this proposal makes sense from a carbon footprint point of view. However, the lack of temperature control with such solar powered devices has been identified as a source for legionella development.
At the very least, I would avoid this solution for patients (especially immunosupressed or newborns).
