In this 'Hour of Power' you can change help change the lives of children living in energy poverty. Energy poverty means many children throughout the world have no access to light after dark or rely on light powered by kerosene or diesel fuels impacting their health and the environment.
Almost 10% of the world has limited or no access to energy. This activity will have a significant impact on the child, their family, and their community. Children will be able to study longer leading to improved grades at school, the family will be less reliant on kerosene or diesel fuels that impact their health and the health of the environment.

From $5900 to build 50 lights
The 'Hour of Power' has each participant assemble a solar light to be donated to a child living in energy poverty. You will learn about energy poverty and its impact and then be given a solar light to build. Once the light is built, the next step is to write a letter of encouragement to the child who will receive the solar light.
A minimum of 50 lights will be built, for smaller groups this means double the impact with approximately 2 lights built per person.
Additional lights over the initial 50 will be in increments of 25 and cost $90 per light (+GST).
This activity is a collaborative partnership with SolarBuddy. Included in this activity is delivery of the lights to us, quality checking, and delivery of the lights to children living in energy poverty.
