One Heart for Hope

Over 1 billion people worldwide have no access to stable and sustainable power; a necessity taken for granted in many urban countries today. Across the Philippines, countless communities struggle with the absence of electricity. Millions of Filipino families live below the poverty line, and the opportunities their children receive are significantly reduced due to their access to electricity. In comparison, 100 percent of people living in the United States have access to reliable and efficient electricity.

For over 20 years, Solar Village Foundation has partnered with and developed isolated villages across the Philippines. Miles away from the nearest town or city, these villages lack food, water, communication, shelter, and other vital necessities. In 2023 alone, Solar Village Foundation provided solar-powered printing systems to over 11 schools in 2 different provinces, benefitting 82 teachers and 1,423 students. Their team also provided portable solar lanterns with emergency power bank capabilities to over 300 teachers in 40 different schools. With the help of the Solar Village Foundation, children in the most isolated communities now have educational opportunities that they could never have dreamed of in the past.

Solar Village Foundation creates long-lasting partnerships with every community they work with, facilitating upliftment to become an increasingly self-sufficient solar village. Children receive better education and opportunities and communities become more resilient and sustainable, improving the quality of life in every village they reach.

With your help, Solar Village can save an isolated village on its journey to sustainable development. Be the light for a community in the Philippines by supporting Solar Village and their work.

Thank you,

BE THE LIGHT THIS CHRISTMAS

This Christmas, countless families in the Philippines are facing darkness—both literal and emotional. The recent typhoons have left many without homes, livelihoods, electricity, or basic necessities. They are living amidst the ruins, struggling to find hope.

At One Heart for Hope, we believe that even the smallest light can pierce through the deepest darkness. This holiday season, we aim to bring solar lights and essential supplies to families who have been living in the dark due to storm damage.

A single solar light can:

Illuminate homes left in the shadows.

Bring safety and security to families navigating damaged surroundings.

Give children a chance to read, learn, and dream again.

For our livelihood efforts, we aim to provide indigent fishermen paddle boats to continue providing for their families and seeds for the farmers to grow and nurture on the farm.

But we can't do this alone. We need YOU to help bring hope and light.

Every donation count:

•$20 can provide a solar lamp for a family.

•$50 can light up a family’s home and contribute to their basic needs

•$15 for seeds to grow in the farm

•$300 for a fishing (paddle) boat for livelihood and self-sufficiency

Be the light in someone’s life this Christmas.
