The Sikat Impact Challenge is the country\u2019s first Incubation Program aimed at implementing Renewable Projects (RE) in rural communities in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Sikat held a call for youth organizations in Luzon last February 2018 to pitch their projects that
aim to solve community problems through RE. Three organizations were chosen and in support of their project, they were given exclusive RE Project Management Training, access to an extensive network of experts in the Energy Industry, and Php500,000 in seed funding.<\/p>\n

Here are our three implemented projects with our partner organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Project Liyab aims to help undermined\u2019s problem of lacking ways to get clean and affordable energy. To help solve these problems, Project Liyab has now installed solar lamps, charging stations, and a water pump for the community. Additionally, the Team has also provided waste education and livelihood opportunities for the citizens. As Filipinos, they are committed to the spirit of \u201cBayanihan\u201d believing that no one must get left behind. There\u2019s more in store for the future as the team continually comes up with more Liyab-ful surprises for Sitio Haduan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Project Bantay Kalusugan (BK) aims to provide basic health care education and services through a solar powered health center, staffed by volunteer Mangyan mothers that were trained by local doctors and nurses. Located in a mountainous area with no access to electricity, proper roads and minimum cellular signal, the Mangyans of Cabuyao was originally walking two-three hours just to get to the nearest health center. Now with fifteen trained Mangyan volunteer health workers, people of Sitio Cabuyao are now just five minutes away from getting help for their basic health care needs. The project also integrates traditional and culturally sensitive way of addressing some health-related issues in the process to promote culture such as use of herbal and traditional medicines. This project is implemented through the help of citizens of Sitio Cabuyao, Cabuyao Elementary School and the Local Government of Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The project comprises five components. First is the construction of 10 solar street lights distributed along the critical areas identified by the members. This enhanced safety and security in the community. The other two components include the installation of a Water Purification System (WPS) and a solar photovoltaic system to power the WPS, which provides the community access to an affordable alternative source of purified water. The WPS not only gives the community and a community member a source of livelihood but it also ensures the sustainability of the system. The fourth component is the establishment of the Project Sustainability Fund (PSF) to safeguard the funds necessary to maintain, sustain, and develop the systems installed and constructed in the area courtesy of Project Recharge. A portion of the PSF comes from the income of the WPS while the rest comes from the maintenance fee for the solar streetlights. Finally, the last component is the conduct of three capacity-building activities that supported the Renewable Energy initiative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
