2. THE PROBLEM
There are over 7,000 islands in the Philippines and most of these islands do not have access to electricity. We want to eliminate the sustaining cost in areas that rely on kerosene/battery powered lamps and candles as their main source of lighting.

3. 16 Million Filipinos do not have eletricity

4. HOW IT STARTED
It all started in the mountains of Kalinga, Philippines...

5. Butbut Tribe in Kalinga

6. THE STORY
The tribal village located up in the mountains of Kalinga rely on kerosene lamps as their main source of lighting. They have to refill the lamp with kerosene every other day. The nearest town to get supplies is about 50 km away, and they cannot afford to pay for public transporation – instead they walk 12 hours to get kerosene so they could have some light on moonless nights.

8. She is a living testament as to how much effort they need to exert to have some light to work with at night.
