“We were forced to eat our dinner as early as possible because we have no source of light. But now, we can enjoy our meal and able to eat whatever time we want since we have now owned a WakaWaka. We are no longer depending on the tapped solar light from our neighbor. Also, it is easier for me to do my tasks, like; when going to the comfort room at night; when eating dinner and since it is a solar I find it easier to charge it.” – Cayamora Dilabacun, 71 years old, Internally Displaced Person from Perez, Banggolo, Marawi City to Brgy. Daguan, Kapatagan, Lanao del Sur.
Ramla Dimaampao an IDP staying in Upper Igabay Evacuation Center, Kapatagan, Lanao del Sur. Her family came all the way from Barrio Naga, Marawi City. She shares, “The WakaWaka greatly helped my lactating daughters every night when they are preparing their children’s milk. My grandchildren can now go to comfort rooms on their own since they have a handy WakaWaka unit.”
“My WakaWaka unit helped me a lot in doing my household chores. We can now charge our phone for free unlike before, we pay 10 pesos per charge. My children can even play freely at night without worrying that they might be hurt. We also used the unit overnight to lessen our children’s fear in the dark every night.” – Minang, a mother, 47 years old from Mahad Division Evacuation Center, Malabang, Lanao del Sur.
The provision of solar lights, WakaWaka, helped IDPs in various quarters across evacuation centers especially when children cannot sleep due to absence of electricity. In addition, the solar powered light charger also helps them especially when their phone drains where they pay 10 pesos to charge for just 1 hour enough to charge a cellular phone for at least 50 to 80 percent.
“This help is a souvenir that we will bring with us when we return to Marawi City soon. The siege is unforgettable experience and nightmare,” commented Mujahid Ampuan, 29 years old, a responsible father of 3 and a hardworking provider.
