Pacific: Climate Change Response Program
AngliCORD recently launched an Appeal to help vulnerable families in the developing world prepare for, adapt to and respond to the devastating impacts of the changing climate.
The appeal is raising funds to support a new initiative, called the Climate Change Response Program, which will start in the Solomon Islands before being rolled out to other countries in need.
The program provides unemployed young people with the entrepreneurial skills they need to sell small solar lamps, affordable to communities with no access to electricity.
The lights will reduce people’s reliance on kerosene lamps which damage the environment through carbon emission.
The lights will also provide families with safe, free high-quality lighting which will provide health benefits, reduce living costs and allow children to do school work after dark.
To donate to AngliCORD’s Pacific Climate Change Response Program please contact us on phone (03) 9495 6100 or email us.
You can also read more about the solar lamps at the centre of the program by visiting the website of the designer and manufacture, Barefoot Power.
