Eastern Congo: Delivering Solar Lanterns that also charge phones
Haut-Uele: A human-trafficking zone wedged in a dense rebel-occupied forest bordering Congo, Sudan and the Central African Republic. Infrastructure’s nearly impossible, but solar lanterns can give light and charge phones and only needs the Sun! Bravo to our Team who delivers them, takes 2 days by night-only ; Kudos to Luminaid for making great inflatable solar lights and conscientiously adding the phone-charging feature. More people in the world have phones than running water and electricity.
