Sumba, an island in Eastern Indonesia, is in need of more sustainable energy solutions as the community relies on diesel generators for their electrical supply. During the dry season, streams dry up and villagers are dependent on limited well water. The laborious task of fetching water falls on women and children, who travel long distances multiple times a day while the men are at work.

Many people in Central Sulawesi are engaged in agricultural activities or trade. Mountainous areas in Central Sulawesi (e.g. North Lore, South Lore, and Bada Mountains) have little to no access to electricity. Similarly, remote coastal and inland villages struggle with limited access to electricity due to inadequate infrastructure.

Communities in Mentawai, a group of islands off the coast of West Sumatra, rely on agriculture, fishing, and handicrafts for sustenance. Many villages lack essential infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and sanitation facilities. Access to healthcare services in remote regions is limited, with a great need for improved healthcare facilities and personnel, maternal and child health, treatments for infectious diseases, and essential medicines.

Aiding the Nalja Tribe in Papua
Aiding the Nalja Tribe in Papua
The Nalja tribe is located in a rugged, mountainous region of dense jungle in Papua, Indonesia. There are no roads and no consistent electricity, most cooking is done over an open fire and water comes from a spring some distance away. While some solar power is being adopted, it remains minimal.

The Nalja people urgently need solar lighting to facilitate evening reading and studying, as many are often busy during the day with agricultural work and basic subsistence activities. Apart from the electricity deficit, they also grapple with difficult terrain, challenging weather conditions, and inadequate infrastructure.
