Solar powered bibles are just one of the few things being sent to Haiti
as a relief for its disaster struck citizens. Now, 1000 solar powered
mobile phones are being sent to Haiti, a country where communication
has been cut of from its roots due to the recent earthquake. The
company’s, Intivation (a company that manufactures solar chargers that
are built into a phone) and Digicel (a Haitian mobile operator) will
take the initiative of sending these phones there. These phones can
work in areas with moody electric supply and use solar power to juice
themselves up instead.
These phones were released in June 2009 and more than half a million of them have been sold by Intivation worldwide. The mobile operator, Digicel has shown a huge support to the disaster relief funds with is generous contribution of $10 million in $5 credits to its one million customers in Haiti. This act and initiative by these companies is sure to help Haiti back on its communication track soon.
