Solar Lamps for 900 Indigenous Filipino Children

Aside from the Solar Lamp distribution of the Global Peace Foundation Philippines to different Indigenous Filipino communities in each household; the foundation also provided Solar Street Lights. The street lights provide confidence and a sense of security among the villagers.  Recently, the community in Sitio Tagaytay, Barangay Bonbon, Mansalay Mindoro received the Solar Street light through their Barangay Captain who expresses his deep gratitude towards the donors and organizers for their continuous support. According to him, Street lights can reduce crimes as well as it also helps them to extend their working hours during the night to provide for their family. Solar Lamps and Solar Street Lights are both beneficial and important to every family and community. 

The beneficiaries from Sitio Tagaytay in Barangay Bonbon, Mansalay Oriental Mindoro received brief orientation from the local counterpart, Ms. Marquez on how to properly use the solar lamps to maximize their capacity. He also emphasizes that it is equally important in how they took care of it. The lamps given have a radio that gives information about what is happening around them as they are situated in the far-flung community in Mansalay. There’s also a charging port that allows them to charge their respective phones and another gadget. Using renewable energy like solar lamps helps not only the residents of Sitio Taytay but as whole solar lights reduce the effect of climate change.
