Tropic Ecuador provided this update to their #LightUpEcuador campaign in the aftermath of the earthquake:
Dear Friends,
THANK YOU!! We are so grateful for the immediate response to our Solar Kit Initiative! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to purchase all 40 solar kits in less than 24 hours and they are already on their way to help those in need on the coast!

volunteers on the uses of the solar kits.

We have partnered with three local relief organizations who will be distributing these kits in small rural communities between Pedernales and Jama on the northern Pacific Coast. These organizations already work in the area and know the people and these communities very well. While the need is massive throughout the coast, the smaller villages are often overlooked due to the overwhelming situation in the larger cities like Manta and Guayaquil.
We have sourced an additional 100 of the solar kits in Bolivia and are bringing them to Ecuador. We will continue accepting donations for a few more weeks to fund the remaining kits.
Solar kits ready to go to the Pacific Coast to the communities of Tabuga, Camarones and 10 de Agosto, thanks to Finca Mono Verde, Fundación Ceiba and Fundación Arena! |
Thank you to all supporters of our campaign! |
