Cataract eye challenge is a public health concern worldwide that mainly affects rural residents owing to the use of fossil fuels for lighting. In this initiative we saw an opportunity to contribute towards two SDGs whilst solving two existing problems in the local community. Our approach was to find the root problem of the health challenge fossil fuels caused but also educate the community on the importance of using clean energy and its impact to climate action. Through this initiative, communities could enjoy reliable access to affordable energy through using solar, a solution to reduced cataract eye problem but also with the use of green energy positively contribute to supporting action towards the climate crisis. This initiative has so far reached.
