Skylights for Everyone
Skylights are very costly, the product itself can be several hundred dollars, and with installation you could be looking in the thousands. Imagine what its like for people in third world countries to have a skylight in order to save on bills and live sustainably. Well, good on MIT students and MyShelter Foundation for promoting sustainability while being socially responsible. Thanks to them, people are able to light up homes at no cost at all.
People below the poverty line and living without light (no windows or no electricity) are now able to light up their homes with just a bottle. Millions of families still live in the dark, but with support this project could help so many more under privileged communities worldwide. Look at how many lives are changed already:
Charity campaigns already distribute mosquito nets across Africa, so why not do the same. Either the existing “Isang Litrong Liwanag” campaign led by philanthropist Illiac Diaz needs more recognition or more charities need to be established for making and distributing them to places in need. Of course, no daylight no illumination, but we cannot expect too much and just appreciate what it is able to do.
