Goal #1. To gift six million solar lights to children living in extreme energy poverty by 2030, Goal #2 Educating six million people globally about extreme energy poverty. By achieving these two goals, this is the impact we will have: *Up to 30 million people's lives can be uplifted out of extreme energy poverty to have more equitable opportunities for a brighter future. *12 million people understand the crisis of extreme energy poverty and have the potential to help and advocate for positive change. To achieve these goals we focus on three core principles. 1. Education is core to the solution. It helps to build local awareness and understanding of extreme energy poverty, creates better global citizens, and is the most important factor in creating equitable opportunities for a child. 2. Sustainable innovation shapes our solutions. We design with people as our focus, ensuring that everything we create is simple, socially impactful, environmentally sustainable and makes a difference for a decade not a day. 3. Connected communities are joined at the heart and united by need. When we share ownership of the problem, we lighten the load. The more hearts who join us, through donations, support and advocacy, the more positive outcomes we can create. We will never stop creating new ways to fight this challenge. We see a brighter future for all children, and by learning, creating, and working together we light the way there. The children we work for. We predominantly work with children who live in extreme poverty. They are at the centre of everything we do at SolarBuddy. To date, we have gifted 125,000+ solar lights to children in 21 countries across the globe. We are currently working in Tanzania, Kenya, Dominican Republic, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Cambodia, India, and Madagascar, but we are constantly growing our NGO network with incredible in-country partners. We also offer SolarBuddy's Illuminating Communities Initiative within Australia.
