Description/achievement of initiative
Kopernik, an Indonesia-based nonprofit organization, is committed to expanding clean energy access in the last mile - the most remote, hardest-to-reach parts of the developing world. Since 2010, we have reached more than 200,000 people with simple, clean energy technologies including solar lights, water filters and clean cookstoves. Through our Wonder Women Indonesia initiative, we empower Indonesian women to sell these technologies in remote villages - boosting women's income while expanding energy access.
Our commitment is to train 500 women to connect these life-changing technologies with more than 250,000 people in eastern Indonesia by 2017. As part of the ENERGIA International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy, we are strongly committed to opening up new economic opportunities for women through energy access. Alongside our women’s empowerment programs, we are also committed to responding to emergencies such as the recent Nepal earthquake and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines by connecting clean energy technologies with disaster-devastated communities.
