About 170 boys and girls are daily in the Center for Children with Multiple Disabilities "Steps of Hope" in Tuzla.
Previously installed 6 solar collectors heated the water in the bathrooms, the new 15 heat the swimming pool, which is part of the rehabilitation program.
"It is a domestic product and the total price of the system is around 28,000 marks, which means that it should bring in an annual income of
savings of about 7,500 marks", kMr. Ismet Salihović, Head of the Department for Renewable Energy Sources of the CRP Tuzla.
Nijaz Noćajević, himself a disabled person, worked on the production of collectors, and he has already received employment.
He says that he is glad that the collectors were appointed to such an institution for children with special needs.
Energy efficiency and savings on energy bills will soon be even greater. Tuzla Mayor Jasmin Imamović
announces a new project – photovoltaic cells, in order to produce electricity. The children immediately took the opportunity to swim
in a pool heated by solar energy, and from now on this type of rehabilitation will be on the daily program.
