Light Of Hope PH

Light Of Hope Philippines - aims to build resilient and sustainable communities, to help mitigate climate change, through the use of sustainable clean energy technologies by uplifting the lives of the underprivileged off-the-grid communities. #KeepOnSharingTheLight #LightHeroes #LightOfHopePH

Light of Hope Philippines has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Barangay Pangan-an in Pangan-an Island, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. The agreement, signed by Brgy Captain Jun Casiao, Brgy Councilors and Jovie Gil Montajes, aims to advance initiatives focused on climate change mitigation and disaster preparedness. Together, we are committed to building a resilient and sustainable community for all #KeepOnSharingTheLight #LightHeroes #LightOfHopePH

Due to the strong winds and waves brought by Typhoon Kristine (Trami), several houses along the coastal area of Brgy. Mabua, Surigao City, were destroyed. Fortunately, the affected families were safely evacuated to nearby centers, bringing with them Light Of Hope Philippines, Solar CloudGrid Units to ensure continued access to clean energy while staying in the evacuation centers. This project in Surigao is in partnership with GGGI Philippines (GGGI) and in collaboration with Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and the Local Government Units of Surigao del Norte Province, with the support from 𝐁𝐈𝐌𝐏-𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐀-𝐑𝐎𝐊 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 (BKCF). The initiative aims to strengthen resilience and promote sustainability in disaster-prone areas across the Philippines. By deploying clean energy solutions and empowering local communities, the project seeks to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters, ensuring that vulnerable regions are better equipped to recover and thrive. #LightOfHopePH #LightHeroes #LightOfHopePH #KristinePH

The Global Green Growth Institute (𝐆𝐆𝐆𝐈) and the Mindanao Development Authority (𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐃𝐀) conducted a site monitoring visit to Danawan Island, Surigao City, Surigao del Norte, to assess the progress of 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬' project, "𝐎𝐟𝐟-𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐕𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐋𝐨𝐰-𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐨 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐨" under the 𝐁𝐈𝐌𝐏-𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐀-𝐑𝐎𝐊 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 (𝐁𝐊𝐂𝐅). The project aims to provide sustainable, renewable energy solutions to enhance the resilience and quality of life in remote, underserved areas prone to natural disasters. #KeepOnSharingtheLight #LightHeroes #LightOfHopePH

There are significant future opportunities for our partner communities to become sustainable, zero-emission facilities. Given that public schools are often designated as evacuation centers during calamities, the need for a reliable, resilient renewable energy source is crucial. Having their own independent power supply would ensure essential systems, such as lighting, vaccine freezers, cooling equipment, and communication devices remain operational, enhancing disaster preparedness and response capabilities 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 (ZE-Gen) aims to advance renewable energy-based alternatives in countries that depend on fossil-fueled generators. The Accelerator is part of the ZE-Gen initiative, which was launched at COP27 and is a collaborative initiative led by The Carbon Trust and Innovate UK with support from the IKEA Foundation and 𝐔𝐊 𝐚𝐢𝐝 through the UK Government’s 𝐀𝐲𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝. The second half of the week-long Zero Emission Generators Accelerator Programme’s Ignite activity in the Philippines was spent in Cebu and Bohol. During this time, the UK delegates visited several potential project sites, including locations in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, as well as Getafe and Talibon in Bohol. These site visits provided valuable insights into the opportunities for implementing possible zero-emission energy solutions in these areas in the near future #KeepOnSharingtheLight #LightHeroes #LightOfHopePH

During the first half of the Zero Emission Generators Accelerator Programme’s Ignite activity in the Philippines, participants spent their time in Manila. The highlight of this period was a networking reception hosted by British Ambassador to the Philippines, H.E. Laure Beaufils. The event brought together key stakeholders, innovators, and industry leaders focused on advancing zero-emission energy solutions, providing participants with the opportunity to exchange insights and explore collaborative initiatives aimed at accelerating clean energy technology in the country. #KeepOnSharingTheLight #LightHeroes #LightOfHopePH

🌏 This week the Zero Emission Generators Accelerator Programme’s Ignite activity has been taking place in the Philippines. The activity has been supporting 10 innovative businesses that are currently in phase 1 of their ZE-Gen projects and preparing for phase 2, which requires collaboration in country. During the first half of the week the cohort spent time in Manila, with highlights including: a networking reception hosted by British Ambassador to the Philippines Laure Beaufils at which James C. gave an introduction of ZE-Gen to a range of stakeholders across the energy ecosystem (before handing over to the 10 businesses to introduce themselves!); meetings with British Embassy Manila, Asian Development Bank (ADB), ADB Ventures, Kickstart Ventures, UNDP Philippines; and a networking breakfast attended by National Transmission Corporation - Philippines, PNOC Renewables Corporation, PHINMA, and many others. Throughout the week the cohort have been presenting their projects/technology and engaging in fruitful discussion with the stakeholders and one another, which has been incredibly exciting to see! The rest of our time will be spent in and around Cebu City, so watch this space for an update at the end of the week!
