‘Lighting Children’ is a campaign designed to support children living in regions with limited access to energy. The campaign was organised by the Miral Welfare Foundation (Miral), a non-profit organisation committed to the social inclusion of vulnerable groups, particularly people with disabilities.
Hanwha Qcells employees participated in the campaign by making solar lanterns for children who need reliable lighting for everyday activities. Hanwha Qcells hopes that the lanterns can help improve conditions for studying and reduce the need for fuel-based lighting.
