Filmed on Chole Island, Tanzania, our latest film tells the story of Sele. Sele has woken up in a new era... the solar era.www.solar-aid.org@solaraidwww.facebook.com/solaraid

This season Proximity Designs started sales of solar lights in Myanmar. The lights, from Hong Kong based company d.light, are designed to be practically indestructible. We decided to test that claim, and took them down to Pyapon in the Ayerwady Delta where we submerged them in water, drove over them with a motorbike and threw them out of a palm tree. Did they survive?

Put together by mamemo to showcase d.light as a Zayed Future Energy Prize finalist, this video is a great overview of the company and what solar-powered lanterns can do for our consumers.

Mama Siwema is a song composed by the Tanzanian Poet Mrisho Mpoto. The song is composed specifically for the "Right to Safe Light" of Femina HIP and d.light design. The campaign promotes the use of solar lights in Tanzania, specifically for students in order to refrain them from using dangerous, unhealthy kerosene lamps. Today, 98% of the rural population still uses kerosene for light on a daily basis.
