SolarBuddy is an Australian charity based in Brisbane, whose goals are gifting solar devices to children living in extreme energy poverty, and educating people to be agents of change to end such poverty.
Kenmore Rotary has been involved with the SolarBuddy programme for 10 years, partnering with local primary schools to provide JuniorBuddy solar LED lights to children in remote villages. The lights are delivered to our schools in kit form, and the children, in year 5 or 6, assemble them, guided by their teachers and Rotarians. The children also write a short letter to the recipient of the light.
