The 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps have arrived at our base in Rumakambera after six months of challenges. These lamps will transform lives, offering safe lighting, improving education, and aiding medical care in villages without electricity.
After years of walking to find dirty water, villages like Laindatang, Hambarita or Mbinudita can now access clean water from community reservoirs they built themselves. Clean water reduces diarrhea, skin infections, and fear. This is a true reflection of dignity in daily life.
