Program Overview:

There are a number of places in Sri Lanka, including entire villages, where electricity isn’t a cost issue, but actually an infrastructure issue. A partnership with U.S.-based nonprofit First Light supplied electricity for the orphanage’s use, and provided Grace girls with an opportunity to train for a future in solar power.

First Light is dedicated to bringing reliable, renewable energy to communities in need around the globe. Working together, the girls learned how energy is made, about energy conservation, and how to install small solar arrays.
