Open-source data module linking solar mesh-grid energy uptime to child health service continuity in rural Zambia # Climate-Health Mesh: Open-Source Energy-Health Resilience Data Module **Sosai Renewable Energies Company Limited — Zambia** **Repository Status:** In active development | First release targeted Q3 2026 --- ## Overview This repository contains the open-source data module developed by Sosai Zambia that correlates real-time solar mesh-grid energy performance data with community-level child health service delivery indicators. It is designed to run on top of the MeshNova Skyline cloud platform's REST API and is intended to be freely adaptable by energy developers, health ministries, and community health programmes across sub-Saharan Africa. The module generates **Climate-Health Resilience Scores** for rural communities — identifying when and where energy system degradation is placing children's health services at risk, and enabling anticipatory preparedness responses before climate shocks translate into disrupted care. --- ## The Problem In rural Zambia, only 4% of communities have access to on-grid electricity. In Chitambo District, Central Province — one of the most remote districts in the country — health posts lack reliable power for vaccine cold chains, night delivery lighting, and water pump operation. Climate shocks including floods and droughts further disrupt already fragile health infrastructure. Children under five and pregnant women carry the greatest burden of this vulnerability. The critical gap is not just the absence of energy — it is the absence of **data linking energy availability to health service continuity**, which means decision-makers cannot see the problem coming or respond in a coordinated way when it arrives. --- ## What This Module Does The Climate-Health Mesh module connects two data streams that have never been systematically integrated at community level in rural Zambia: 1. **Energy performance data** — real-time grid uptime, battery state of charge, per-node consumption, and anomaly alerts from MeshNova Skyline's REST API ac …
