To help improve the lives of people living in areas with limited access to electricity, Panasonic Corp. donated 2,376 solar lanterns to 18 NGOs in the Philippines in a simple ceremony held at the Jesus V. del Rosario Foundation Hall, Asian Institute­of Management, Makati City recently. The donation is part of Panasonic’s global 100 Thousand Solar Lanterns project aimed at resolving various social challenges faced by those living in areas with challenging electrical power conditions, particularly in emerging and developing countries. The project was launched in 2012 to utilize Panasonic’s technologies and products to help address societal issues and provide a better life and a better world to people around the world. The goal is to donate 100,000 solar lanterns to non­profit organizations and NGOs, humanitarian organizations and international organizations by the year 2018, Panasonic’s 100th anniversary.
