WATCH: New solar energy ambassadors take on Light it Forward challenge

, , , ,
These solar ambassadors for the Light it Forward movement raise awareness to end energy poverty in the Philippines.

These new solar ambassadors took on the eco-friendly Light it Forward video challenge to provide sustainable electricity to Filipinos still living in the dark.

Liter of Light established the solar grassroots movement Light it Forward’s noble cause of giving environment-friendly light sources to homes in need of them the most as part of its campaign to end energy poverty in the Philippines.

Light it Forward also honors the nation’s frontline workers’ efforts and sacrifices of medical frontliners working to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

LIGHT IT FORWARD is a video challenge to hand-build components of solar lamps for 20-30 minutes. Challengers are also asked to dedicate their very own solar lights with encouraging messages for frontliners who have made a positive impact on their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. The solar lamps built by the challengers go straight to homes without light and are changing Filipino lives for the better.

The innovative solar lights have the power to illuminate homes for 12-16 hours a day, for the next five years. A cost-effective lamp can also replace hazardous and traditional forms of lighting relied on by villagers and reduces carbon emissions in the environment by at least 1,000 kg.

The Asia Pacific Social Innovation and Partnership Award (APSIPA) winning campaign has tapped celebrities, influencers, healthcare workers, youth, and professionals who are now working together to raise awareness for millions of energy-poor Filipinos living without modern electricity in the country.

Light it Forward welcomes ten new solar challengers:

At this time and age of high-tech lifestyles. With all the gadgets and vast universe of the internet… There still are Filipinos that live in dark at night. It is doubly hard for them especially during this Covid19 situation. Let us all help out the noble cause of @literoflight. >1 full charge of this light bottle can last 12 hours. This will help a lot! Especially during storms. >Charging it via solar panels is the brilliant bit. Cuts carbon emissions out in a major way. I nominate these guys to keep it alive: @jayvieagojo @dongdantes @dustinmarasigan @boyetahmee @perriperrigood @badjaodc @honorious @mykroy @bambi_manosa @ketchup.eusebio @ikatlo_correa @piagaiser @pingles319 @jao_mapa @pepe.herrera @niccomanalo #helpingothers #solarpoweredlife #nomoredarkness #eliminatedarkness #ilawngtahanan #ilawngtahanan❤ #ilawngtahanan💡#bethelight #act4impact #sdg7 #goodlight #thegoodlight #forwardphilippines #filipinosforfilipinos #aktorph #makatha #quikstories

Thank you @ornusacadness for accepting our Light It Forward challenge! With your time and talent, you are helping us to empower communities living in darkness. Many communities in the Philippines don’t have light, but the current COVID-19 pandemic is no excuse to stop helping. Even from the safety of home, we can continue to be a light for others. LIGHT IT FORWARD is a challenge to assemble components of solar lights by hand. In less than 30 minutes, you can light it forward for communities without access to electricity.

The @literoflight solar light kit was created to help these people with no access to electricity. It is simply made with a pipe, recycled bottle, a battery and solar panel but has a lifespan of 5 years! By accepting the #lightitforward challenge, I had a task to put together my very own solar lamp! Swipe to see the finished product 🙂💡🤩 For more information on liter of light, check out their website – www.lightitforward.ph 💙

The agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector play a vital role in our economy, but they could no longer prolong their productivity hours due to the limited access to light. Energy presents adverse consequences that are amplified by poverty and socioeconomic disadvantages, yet they are still underappreciated. Join me as we become Liwanag sa Dilim.
