The Challenge-Social inclusion
People living in remote rural areas in Peru are still using kerosene lamps to light their homes because they cannot source other types of energy. However, kerosene and candles are more expensive in the long run and can have a negative effect on children, such as breathing problems
Solar energy
It has been estimated that Peru has favourable conditions for the development of solar energy projects, yet the country’s solar potential has not been fully exploited, especially in the mountains. In these locations solar energy reaches average levels of more than 6 kWh/m2/day, which is amongst the highest in the world. For more information, please click on this link:
Renewal energy in Peru
Solution
Our objective is to implement micro-solar energy sources in rural areas and promote social inclusion in these communities. The solar products are desk lamps and home lighting systems. The lighting source comes with a solar panel, battery, wires and mobile phone charging kits. The products are designed to be functional, easy to use and long lasting.
Benefits
Rural communities, as well as schools and medical centres, can benefit from inexpensive and clean environmentally friendly lighting systems. In terms of budget, these products are more accessible than a wind power turbine, solar panels on roofs, kerosene lamps and candles.
Social responsibility
People living in remote rural areas do not have enough spare income to purchase these solar energy products. Given this context, we are seeking sponsorship or donations for solar products, running projects in specific locations across Peru. By implementing clean energy, local people gain self-sufficiency, take care of their environment, engage in community development and reduce health risks for children.
