How it works

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this program includes a compelling presentation, assembly of StudentBuddy devices by each participant and connecting with communities living in energy poverty with a letter writing activity which will be packaged as a gift!

At the end of this session, the StudentBuddy devices are returned for quality assurance before their journey begins to a distribution country. SolarBuddy’s NGO Partner distributes the gift of light into the hands of children living in energy poverty.
