Light
centers will be installed across rural Africa by 2015. Royal Philips
Electronics has launched this new initiative that will create areas of light to
the rural communities which have lived without electricity. The first 40 light
centers will be installed late this year, focusing on schools that are closely
linked to villages and towns in off-grid or semi-grid areas. Philips will also
provide communal areas that can be used for activities such as sport,
healthcare, commerce, and social. Thus, extending the days of the people by
enabling communal life after dark, creating safe areas, and supporting
sanitation.
This
initiative is not something new. Philips has completed installing light centers
in a number of Africa countries – Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Ghana, and South
Africa. The company also enabled the World’s first soccer game to be played
under solar-powered LED floodlighting in Nairobi, Kenya.
According
to the President of Philips Lighting, the local reactions have been extremely
positive. “Philips’ aim is to create awareness for what is now possible. We are
introducing the first generation of solar powered LED lighting solutions which
can provide high quality, sustainable and reliable lighting for off-grid
communities in Africa; indeed the world. It is now a question of how much the
world is willing to invest”.
You too
can provide high quality, sustainable and reliable lighting in your very own homes! Check our variety of
