Padangi Iwi, East Sumba: no electricity, no street lights. SolarBuddy Junior lamps let children study after dark without toxic kerosene smoke. They also reduce burns and falls on steep paths when families cook or fetch water. Light is prevention.
#SolarBuddy #EastSumba
All 24 planned schools in East Sumba have been visited. The SolarBuddy distribution update marks the final phase, with remaining lamps soon reaching more schools. Months of logistics and field presence turned planning into light for children.
