Everyone has the right to light
The whole project was created in The Philippines, after the finding of widespread poverty despite the rich natural and human resources of the country. The founder, Sergio Boero, wondered how his intervention could have been a help to those people, coming up with an answer: light.
In 1989, immediately after one of the strongest typhoons The Philippines had ever seen, Sergio and his former partner Luca Vezzaro saw how the availability of light meant the difference between life and death, hope and hopelessness: it was a new start. People needed an affordable, renewable source of light useful in such disaster situations. This is how the Sunny Sonny Story came to life.
In November 2016, Sunny Sonny Story was proudly accredited by the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
