The IPG was established in 2003 by a group of ATA members interested in assisting low income communities in South East Asia and the Pacific with technologies appropriate to their needs. We believe that the provision of sustainable technologies such as solar powered lighting, and micro hydro for electricity can lead to significant development benefits. For example lighting is a primary determinant of quality of life, providing lighting at night can assist the operation of medical clinics, providing night clinic and improved operating conditions. A single bulb can allow children to study thereby improving their educational status. Renewable technologies can operate “off the grid” and reduce the recurrent expenditure required for these services while reducing the demand for diesel fuel and other scarce resources.
Project Partnerships
The IPG delivers all its projects in partnership with local communities, donors, sponsors and volunteers. To find out more about our project partners and sponsors and how to get involved visit the partnerships page.
We would like to specifically thank the following key sponsors, without their help our activities could not happen: M&H Power, RFI Industries, Selectronics and Plasmatronics.
