SolarBuddy is an Australian-founded international non-profit organisation dedicated to ending extreme energy poverty through innovative solar solutions and global education. Guided by the belief that access to energy is a basic human right, SolarBuddy provides solar lights to children and communities living in energy poverty, empowering them to study, work, and live safely after dark.
Since its inception in 2016, SolarBuddy has illuminated the lives of over 1.7 million people across 28 countries, including remote First Nations communities in Australia, the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. The organisation also delivers award-winning STEM education and corporate engagement programs that inspire global citizenship and drive social impact.
Operating as a proud participant of the UN Global Compact and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SolarBuddy is committed to creating a brighter, more equitable, and sustainable future for all.
