February 12, 2010—Sol, Inc.’s solar lights have been illuminating nighttime relief and recovery efforts at several Port-au-Prince sites following the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010.
Solar lights donated by Sol, Inc. were installed at University Hospital, International Airport, U.N. Logistics Base and Hotel Montana within days of the disaster for quick and reliable illumination for victims and volunteers.
The first phase of Sol, Inc.’s pledge to provide $300,000 in solar lights has been reached as the company has manufactured and packaged over 130 solar light systems ready for shipment. Sol, Inc. is still seeking air cargo or ocean freight transportation assistance for the remaining lights from Florida to Haiti.
Since January 19, Sol, Inc.’s team has been on the ground in Haiti ensuring lights are secured, delivered, and effectively installed. The company is reporting its progress on its Web site.
