Hand-held solar-charged lights are bringing new light to remote villages in Fiji which have little or no electricity. David Robertson, a Northbridge Rotary Club member and Castlecrag resident with a history of helping villagers in remote parts of Fiji, recognised that these inexpensive lights would change the lives of many people.

 

David’s main target audience was village children. “Many school children travel hours each day to and from school, often in the dark”, David said. ”The lights are used by children in their classrooms and to do their homework at night in huts with no electricity”.
