Our very first Power4Change project brought light and connection to 50 families in the remote mountains of the Philippines. In homes with no access to electricity, we installed solar lights and phone charging stations, giving children a safe space to study after dark and families a way to stay connected to loved ones. 100% self-funded, this project marks the start of our mission to empower communities with sustainable energy solutions.

For decades, many of these communities have endured life without reliable electricity or access to clean water. When the pandemic hit, it wiped out what little income many families had — leaving entire households, some with up to ten children, struggling without food, work, or basic necessities. Then in 2021, Super Typhoon Odette tore through their region, taking lives and devastating homes, crops, and infrastructure. Yet through the loss, hardship, and heartbreak, what emerged was something powerful: stories of strength, neighbours helping neighbours, and a will to keep moving forward. These are the voices of the people we serve — and the reason we’re committed to powering real, lasting change.
