They brought me to Kasiglahan Village in Montalban, Rizal to identify possible solar lighting projects.
This area is a relocation housing that the government provide for them, majority of the recepient are squatters in Metro Manila in the past.
A third of the housing in that area are not within reach to grid electricity.
As a these houses do not have electricity, they do an illegal tapping of electricity to provide they needs.
They has identified a cluster housing (15 units) where they are in need of solar lighting for these houses, a lamp for each house.
They source of income is by collecting and recycling waste from the rubbish dump and also making souvenirs to sell in the city.
.
A typical transportation is called the "Jeepney" which is colourful and has the 'cool factor'
Conclusion, until we are able to get sponsors for the project, it will have to wait.
