Stand-alone renewable energy systems powered by solar photovoltaics and micro-hydro have provided rural communities with household lighting and social services such as potable water and education, Thousands of lives have been touched in communities - most of them conflict-affected - across Basilan, Davao City, Davao del Norte, Lanao det Sur, Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and the Zamboanga Peninsula, The AMORE Program is an alliance between the United States Agency for International Development, and the Philippine Department of Energy and private sector partners. It is implemented by Winrock International. Forging reltable Altances, the AMORE Program fulfils its rural electrification mission hand in hand with partners from the private and public sectors. Over US$9.6 million worth of contribution in services and renewable energy systems from energy partners, former Mirant Philippines Foundation and ‘SunPower Corporation, have brought electricity services to tens of thousands of individuals in Mindanao. Between 2002 and 2004 (Phase 1), the AMORE Program brought energy access from clean sources to over 6,000 households in 200 rural communities in Mindanao with energy partners, former Mirant Philippines Foundation. ‘An additional 7,000 households in over 270 villages, and over 40,000 students in over 200 rural schools, started to enjoy the benefits of clean energy from AMORE’s electrification work between 2004 and 2009 (Phase 2) with assistance from energy partners - former Mirant Philippines Foundation and SunPower Corporation. A Sustainable Approach to rural electrification has been developed by the AMORE Program, one that is hinged on organizing communities for development. MORE organizes community members into a Barangay Renewable Energy and Community Development. ‘Association (BRECDA), and helps capacitate them to effectively and sustainably manage the renewable energy systems. With energy access as entry point, the BRECDA plans and implements projects for their ‘own community's development. g 2 No EZ& the AMORE Program is committed to hel ng the Philippine government bring eneray services to every household, and extend social services to every rural village in the country.

By working towards developing and strengthening the renewable energy supply chain in Mindanao, AMORE aims to link up rural households with energy suppliers and service providers, includ- ing financing institutions. The AMORE Program hopes to develop vibrant renewable energy market linkages jn Mindanao, beginning in the 474 AMORE villages. The AMORE communities, where Barangay Renewable Energy and Commu- nity Development Associations (BRECDA) had been previously established by AMORE, present a tremendous market for the renewable energy (RE) business in Mindanao. Having been capacitated towards their ‘community's development, the BRECDA is able to participate in the RE supply chain in Mindanao, and could assist in direct sale of RE products, as well as provide linkaging and marketing support. We encourage the following to join us in our rural electrification mission: + Businesses or individuals currently engaged or would like to engage in RE (solar, microhydro, mini-grid, etc.) system sales, supply and maintenance + Businesses or individuals currently engaged or would like to engage in RE-photovoltaic or lower cost lighting systems sales + Financing institutions + Donors to provide start-up inventory (e.g. PV parts/components, solar lanterns, etc.) to rural micro- enterprises or individuals TESTIMONIALS pememaerens a Se anerae angel ere Gicemeneetaeenes iuetraiaeri ects Sere Mercian abort, teacher New Turan Pray Schon, Tie aera set “arses ar ory enue aout thie Ents erane They imitate wnat they Rese ‘ven 3s tey pay he shoal pounce We Gayo up wihan engl Fetal whore ‘Sule showcaze he gn compen Teaching Eng Pas become ease.

For the program’s third phase, 35,000 students in 150 rural schools are targeted to be given access to renewable ‘energy-powered multimedia- based distance education technology. SunPower continues to support ‘AMORE’s work on school electrification and distance education. A total of 150 schools will gain energy access using photovoltaic solar modules by SunPower, provided through its corporate social responsibility arm, the SunPower Foundation. You can help bring modern energy and education services to more school children in rural schools. SCHOOL ELECTRIFICATION AND DISTANCE EDUCATION et upon the course of improving the quality of life of rural communities not just for the present but also for the future, the Alliance for Mindanao Off-grid Renewable Energy Program has been helping students in rural Mindanao better their learning experience through the School Electrification and Distance Education project. From 2002 to 2009, over 44,000 students in over 200 rural schools were given access to renewable energy- powered dstance education facility with help from program partners, SunPower Corporation, the Department of Energy, the British Embassy Manila, Petron Foundation/Habitat for Humanity, and IBM. idSmart. Educational content in multimedia format sourced from programs such as Improving English Language Teaching and Learning in Mindanao Program (Real World Productions), the E-Media program (ABS-CBN Foundation), and the Knowledge Channel, provided both teachers and students improved teaching and learning experiences amid conditions charac- terized by poverty and conflict.
