On 11 March 2011, Japan was struck by the most powerful earthquake and tsunami, leaving massive impact and thousands of people remain homeless without proper access to energy and lighting. This emergency project provides solar powered lanterns to the most severely affected areas.
The devastating earthquake and tsunami have paralyzed Japan's northern area. Survivors evacuated to temporary shelters, but lack of electricity is leaving the victims vulnerable. The project addresses urgent need of providing light to the affected areas.
