Give Light. Change Lives in Codon.

In the remote island of Sitio Pagatpatan, Baranggay Codon, San Andres,Catanduanes, twenty seven families (27) mainly rely on firewood from nearby forests for night lighting, cooking and even for earning additional income in order to survive everyday living in the village. Such lifestyle does not only have a huge impact on the quality of life at the village but also on the depleting global environment. In addition, burning of firewood for cooking and night lighting have caused house fires and accidents and have exposed families to hazardous fumes.
Faced with these pressing problems, Councilor Jonathan Joson of San Andres, Catanduanes, in partnership with the Youth without Barriers' Solar Power Initiative (SPIN) Project, came up with a decentralized rural electrification project for the said Baranggay dubbed as "Give Light, Change Lives in Codon" Project. The endeavor aims to provide households in Baranggay Codon access to free, clean and renewable power through the use of solar energy, and thus address the energy poverty situation in the community of Codon.
Conceptualized in 2010, the Spin Project targets remote and disadvantaged communities which do not have access to electricity and helps them utilize the energy from the sun through reliable and cost-effective solar lighting systems. SPIN does not only endeavor to inspire and empower people in rural villages to take advantage of an abundant resource but also to create and raise awareness on cleaner and sustainable ways people can use electricity, and, thus, find long-term solutions to the problem of energy poverty in our country.
Get involved now.
Help us bring solar power to Codon. Help us transform their lives into profoundly positive ways. Make a difference by supporting this Project.
