Thousands of people have been impacted by Nusantara Development Initative's (NDI) project to empower rural women to become solar lamp entrepreneurs in Indonesia.

The Singapore-registered non-profit works closely alongside island communities in the Riau Archipelago, to train women to sell solar lamps to households that have little or no access to electricity. They are called Ibu Rumah Terang, or Mothers of Light.

The Ibu Rumah Terang say that, as businesswomen, they enjoy additional income for their families, have gained a new respect from the communities and feel more confident and capable than ever before.

So far, NDI has trained 21 Ibu Rumah Terang, who have sold clean and affordable lighting to more than 2,100 households in the region, and with your help, that number is set to grow.

Help empower more women to bring light to more lives in Indonesia by supporting NDI here.
