Panasonic Cambodia, in collaboration with the non-governmental organization Light with Dignity (LWD), has recently provided 1,050 Panasonic Solar Lanterns to people living in areas without access to electricity, particularly in Battambang and Pursat Provinces. Panasonic is helping rural Cambodia to address this problem by way of "Light up the Future" program, an initiative that provides assistance to people living in areas without access to electricity.
Yasunobu Matsumoto, CEO and Country Head of Panasonic Cambodia, led the mission to Veal Village which was also accompanied by the district governor and other dignitaries. The recipients of the donation also included people from three other rural districts namely, Prek Pir Village, Ta Deh Village and Boeng Krolor Village in the provinces of Pursat and Battambang.
Following the occasion, Mr. Yasunobu Matsumoto stated his excitement at meeting the people of Veal Village in person, as well as his desire for Panasonic Cambodia to become more active in community programs. "This is not a one-time effort, and Panasonic will continue to assist in improving the lighting condition of the people living in rural Cambodia," he stated.
Before they were distributed to the village, LWD conducted a survey to select the families that need the lanterns the most. Solar lanterns have many uses. People can use them for lighting up their own houses so that they can cook or their children can continue to study when it gets dark outside. These can also be used as a substitute for streetlights at night in those same areas.
A Panasonic Cambodia representative described how the firm is committed to creating an inclusive society free of poverty by participating in activities that address social issues.
The "Light of the future” program is one of our social duties to end poverty, which is why we are partnering with LWD, a non-governmental organization that works with vulnerable people and communities to alter their personal and socioeconomic conditions towards self-sufficiency through a holistic development strategy."
