EDUCATION

Our users experience increased study and classroom time, test scores, and motivation:

  • Students are able to study 45% longer and improve their grades.

  • Teachers are able to work with children and make lesson plans when there is little or no natural light.

  • 97% of parents think their children are more motivated to read and learn since they work with a solar lantern.

 
 

COMMUNICATIONS

Our users can charge their mobile phones without having to walk many kilometers to a charging station.

This allows increased connectivity with family and friends and is more time efficient, allowing for additional time for household chores and working hours.

 

PROSPERITY

Increased savings and productivity can help bring families out of perpetual poverty.

ADDITIONAL INCOME

Solar energy has made it possible for our clients to have longer working hours, increased mobility, and higher yields - leading to a significant increase in income.

Fisherman can attract more fish, sari-sari stores can stay open later, and farmers can drive away pests.

 
 

SAVINGS

Household cashflow is increased by 25% (P 1,800/month), through a combination of reduced energy expenditure on kerosene and batteries.

 

PHYSICAL WELL-BEING

Our products have improved air quality, household safety, and natural disaster safety and preparedness.

HEALTH

Improvements in health due to reduction in smoke inhalation, with household members coughing 56% less.

With proper lighting, health workers can now help mothers give birth throughout the night, decreasing infant mortality rates.

SAFETY

97% of those surveyed say they feel safer, with lower risk of fires and injuries, and the ability to seek help at night.

Replacing kerosene with solar energy eliminates the risks of severe burns and household fires, leaving families safer and parents more comfortable when their children study at night.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

With our lanterns, search and rescue teams can effectively ensure people's safety and provide an early warning of floods by checking reservoirs at night.


COMMUNITY IMPACT

Our philanthropic programs impact communities by providing school clinics, COVID checkpoints, barangay health workers, and disaster clinics with improved energy access.

QUARANTINE CONTROL POINTS(QCPs)

Our philanthropic program for QCPs was able to solarize 

134 of the most disadvantaged Quarantine Control Points, 

which benefited 2,158 frontline workers


ENVIRONMENT

Cleaner air, less battery waste, more environmental education:

  • Every solar lantern reduces 130 kilograms of greenhouse gases per year, keeping air clean and safe.

  • Exposing more people to clean and renewable energy helps promote environmental awareness and strengthens the hope of a sustainable future.

  • With solar lanterns, maritime and forest guards protect Filipino ecosystems from harmful waste.

 
 

Some of the stories and faces of the lives we have brightened through the power of solar 

 
Thanks to solar, I now have brighter light in my sari-sari store, even when there’s a brownout.

Our daughter is in 10th grade and uses the light to do her assignments.
— Nanay from Baler
It’s helped a lot because the electric bills are 300 pesos less than they used to be.

When a brownout comes, we use it to cook and eat.
— Baler Housewife
Some of my friends tell me that my solar light is too expensive compared to others that are available, but I tell them that mine is more reliable than the others. The light is brighter and there’s a warranty, there’s good quality. If there’s a defect, I know where to go to fix it. For my friends, if their solar light breaks, they have to throw it into the garbage.
