WWF's Solar Light Challenge > Build solar lights for children in PNG

Shine a light on Climate Change

Engage your employees, and even your customers, in Australia's biggest grassroots event for climate change action, and harness the power of renewable energy to change the lives of those in need.
  1. The solar lights you build will replace carbon-intensive and toxic kerosene lamps. Providing children in Papua New Guinea with safe and reliable power. According to the WHO, indoor air pollution from the burning of kerosene, firewood and other fossil fuels, kills an estimated 4.3 million people every year – more than HIV and Malaria combined.
  2. According to the Energy Poverty Research Group at the University of Queensland, each light is capable of offsetting approximately 155kgs of CO2 in its lifespan.
  3. At the same time, your participation will help subsidise the costs for more Aussie school children to take part in the activity and learn meaningful lessons about energy poverty and renewable energy.

The lights are $50 each and the minimum order is 25 lights.

This cost includes:
• Presentations by WWF-Australia thought leaders (250+ lights)
• Inspirational videos and tips for your staff assembly event
• Videos and testimonials from the field
• Unassembled lights with tools and instructions provided
• Freight to and from your organisation
• Freight to PNG, customs charges and government duties to PNG
• Distribution of the lights in PNG
• Subsidised lights for Aussie children to participate
