SolarBuddy: Give the Gift of Light This Christmas

Planning a corporate Christmas party often means finding the right venue, booking entertainment, and keeping everyone happy. But what if this year your team did something more meaningful?

SolarBuddy offers a Christmas CSR team building activity that combines team connection with real-world impact. In this hands-on event, your employees assemble solar lights that are sent to children and families living in energy poverty. It is a powerful way to bring people together, celebrate the season, and give the gift of light where it is needed most.

Why SolarBuddy Works for Christmas CSR Activities

Giving back during the holidays creates a stronger bond within your team and makes your celebration stand out. With over one billion people living without reliable electricity, the SolarBuddy mission is clear: build brighter futures by providing safe, sustainable light.

Why teams choose SolarBuddy for Christmas CSR events:

  • Tangible results: Every participant builds a working solar light, creating a direct and visible outcome.
  • Global impact: Lights are sent worldwide to communities most affected by light poverty, supporting education, health, and safety.
  • Inspiring outcomes: Each light is paired with a personal letter, giving children the chance to hear from someone beyond their community.

Clients often tell us that SolarBuddy delivers everything they want from a Christmas event, connection, fun, and a genuine sense of purpose.

The Power of Light: Tackling Energy Poverty

In many parts of the world, sunset brings daily life to a stop. Without electricity, children struggle to study, families depend on unsafe fuels like kerosene, and communities lose hours of productivity each evening.

SolarBuddy helps address this challenge by providing solar-powered lights that last up to ten years. A single light can transform a child’s ability to learn, improve household safety, and reduce reliance on expensive or harmful fuel.

When your team builds these lights, they are not only contributing to a Christmas CSR activity, they are helping children and families experience opportunity after dark.

How SolarBuddy Works: Building Light, Building Bonds

A SolarBuddy event is designed to be simple, engaging, and meaningful.

Here’s what your team will do:

  • Assemble solar lights: Each participant builds a solar-powered light using an easy-to-follow kit.
  • Connect with impact: Teams learn about the realities of light poverty and the difference these lights make.
  • Give back with purpose: Every light is sent to a student or family in need, along with a personal letter written by your employees.

That letter often means as much as the light itself. For many children, it is the first time they have received communication from someone outside their community. It adds a human connection that makes the project even more powerful.
