Donate to our efforts in Timor-Leste

Please donate today to the Future Climate Resilience Project

Give the gift of light to communities in Timor-Leste.

Help shine light onto dark nights in remote communities. Timor-Leste is one of the poorest countries in the region. Only 70% of the population have access to mains electricity and communities in remote areas are not expected to have mains electricity for at least the next 15 years. These communities are often small, dispersed and financially poor.

Since 2003, Renew volunteers and local partners have been installing small, inexpensive solar power systems that provide lighting for off-grid households as well as community centres, orphanages, schools and hospitals in remote rural villages.

Your tax-deductible donation will help us to install and maintain solar lighting systems in rural Timor-Leste, creating a renewable solution for families and communities to light the way out of energy poverty.

You can download a printable card to present as a gift or a digital version to send to someone via email. The digital version is available here, and the printable version here. Feel free to download these cards now, before entering your billing information, or you can download them after making your donation.
