Schools light up in Papua New Guinea

Five schools in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea have thanked the 2018 CIMIC Group Graduates for helping their families with an innovative energy solution.

220 solar-powered lights have been distributed to the schools as a result of a social innovation initiative, run as part of our graduate induction program and facilitated by EIC Activities, CIMIC Group’s engineering and technical services business.

At the induction EIC Activities introduced the graduates to SolarBuddy, a registered charity that aims to end the devastating cycle of energy poverty around the world and distributes solar powered lights to help children in developing countries do their homework at night.

SolarBuddy, CEO Simon Doble, spoke about energy poverty and renewable energy and joined the graduates in building 220 SolarBuddy lights and writing a letter to each recipient.
