Kopernik

My fellowship with Kopernik on Ataúro Island mainly deals with the distribution of d.light S250 solar lights in the village of Biqueli and Solvatten water filters in the village of Vila, along with the two local Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) Move Forward and Roman L

Thanks to our partnership with Rural Communes, we are distributing even more Greenway Smart Stoves in India; this time we reach the state of Maharashtra and go deep into villages located outside of Mumbai.

The common profile of d.light users on Ataúro Island is mostly off-grid families whose average incomes are USD 100 per month but most of the incomes come from fishing and agriculture.

In this final blog post of mine, I would like to sum up the survey result and write about lessons learned from the rapid impact assessment.

Today I will keep on explaining how was the experience of interviewing the d.light S250 users on Ataúro Island as a Kopernik fellow. As you may remember from my previous post, we spent one week going to the different sub villages of Biqueli that had received the solar lights in order to get some feedbacks from the users. The last time I shared with you my visit to the sub villages of Uaruana and Uatu’u.
