3月11日の東北関東大地震により、多くの被災者が出ております。特に聴覚障害者の方々は、補聴器が無くなったり、水につかって壊れたりした結果、避難生活が非常に困難になっています。この状況を鑑み、東日本大震災聴覚障害者救援宮城本部の要請を受け、聴覚障害を持った地震被害者の方々を対象に、太陽光で充電できる補聴器（ソーラー・イヤー）を100個（50人分）配給します。このプロジェクトはウインローダー様のご協力を受け、さらに、日本元気塾・グローバル・アジェンダ・ゼミナールの有志メンバーが賛同し、力をあわせて寄付を集めます。
津波の被害により補聴器を失った聴覚障害者の方が多くおり、日々の避難生活に支障をきたしています。

On 11 March 2011, Japan was struck by the most powerful earthquake and tsunami, leaving massive impact and thousands of people remain homeless without proper access to energy and lighting. This emergency project provides solar powered lanterns to the most severely affected areas.
The devastating earthquake and tsunami have paralyzed Japan's northern area. Survivors evacuated to temporary shelters, but lack of electricity is leaving the victims vulnerable. The project addresses urgent need of providing light to the affected areas.

The Firefly Mobile Lamp is a LED lamp that can be charged with the sun via a solar panel and also charges your mobile phone. The improved Gen 2.5 Firefly desk lamp will provide hours of brightness with 10 SMD LEDs and three settings – high, medium, and a low night light. At 55 lumens, Gen 2.5 is brighter than previous desk lamps.
Barefoot Power is the winner of the 2010 World Bank Group Lighting Africa Award for best room lighting, top performance and best value categories for their PowaPack and Firefly range of solar lighting products.
“The Solar light really helped the difficult situation that indigenous communities in Papua were facing. With this solar light it really help the indigenous communities family to save their money that previously went to purchase kerosene and candle, and to charging their mobile phones. The money they save are now reallocated to meet other family needs.”
“Since Kopernik solar light is a multifunctional gadget, it is very appropriate to be used in such remote area, far away from public electricity, and it is very efficient (zero in operational cost) and effective (brighter than kerosene lamps). Unfortunately, although it also has function in recharging cellular phones, it sometimes cannot work well (it cannot recharge the cell phones). If some Led Lamps goes off, how we can replace them easily without special skills in electronic stuff. The manual guide in functioning the cell phones recharge should be clearer and be simple. It will be more helpful if it is attached with the pictures step by step. The Led Lamps should be able to replace in a very simple ways and in the cheapest cost. ”
The Firefly Mobile Lamp is a LED lamp that can be charged with the sun via a solar panel and also charges your mobile phone. The improved Gen 2.5 Firefly desk lamp will provide hours of brightness with 10 SMD LEDs and three settings – high, medium, and a low night light. At 55 lumens, Gen 2.5 is brighter than previous desk lamps. The 1.5W solar panel will recharge the battery inside the lamp and a mobile phone. Barefoot Power is the winner of the 2010 World Bank Group Lighting Africa Award for best room lighting, top performance and best value categories for their PowaPack and Firefly range of solar lighting products.
LEDs enable the development of lighting products suitable for use in developing countries at very low cost. Most poor households are burning between US$0.50 – US$2.00 each week on kerosene. This cash expenditure can be redirected towards much cleaner and more efficient LED lighting. Our careful pro-poor design has resulted in LED products that will payback within 6 months (some within 2 months!)
The Firefly 12 Mobile includes:
None
Not required
Warranty of 6 months for the lamp and 1 year for the solar panel (for manufacturersʼ defects only)

On top of replacing the dim light and noxious fumes of a kerosene lantern, another benefit of using a solar light is that it eliminates the burden of buying kerosene each week.. We have seen that families in rural western Kenya, while rarely making more than a couple thousand Kenyan shillings (KSH) per week, spend anything between 200 KSH to 1000 KSH (US$2.40 to US$11.90) per week on kerosene (or paraffin, as it is called Kenya) .

Last December, I wrote about starting a new project in Lakwati village on Alor Island, Indonesia. Working with Topa Haliel Savings and Loans Group, we introduced various solar lights, fuel-efficient cookstoves, and water filters and purifiers to get feedback, find out how much people were willing to pay for them, and work out the most effective ways of getting these technologies into the hands of the people who need them. I am very happy to update you on the progress of this project.

At least 1.3 billion people rely solely on dangerous and dirty kerosene lanterns for light, according to World Energy Outlook 2011 estimates. When the number of people with unreliable access to electricity is factored in, d.light calculates up to to 3 billion people around the world use kerosene for lighting. Any way you cut it, a frightening number of people still rely on this 19th century technology.

It's always inspiring to see initiatives helping to improve the quality of education for Indonesian kids. It's even better to be a part of one of these initiatives. But best of all, to be involved in a project where junior high school students inspire their younger peers to get excited about studying science.
