Its Time Foundation

Its Time Foundation delivers renewable power solutions for remote Pacific Island schools, transforming education outcomes and reducing carbon emissions. It's life changing: Many island schools struggle with no electricity supply – or rely on dirty diesel generators they can barely afford to run a couple of hours per day. The kids have little or no chance of a modern education. Its Time Foundation, with the generous support of its partners, provides clean, free electricity for lighting and computers and utterly transforms the education and prospects for these kids. Money saved buys resources. The money saved on generator fuel creates decades of cash flow to buy computers and other desperately needed education resources. In some schools the teachers happily make modest contributions for their new 24 hour power, further contributing to education resources. Our very conservative calculations on projects to date suggests that, on average, every $1 invested liberates at least $4 over the next 30 years for education – and that value increases as fuel prices rise. Less emissions. While the schools are not major emitters on a world scale, the projects are helping these communities take diesel generators offline and drastically reduce their carbon footprint. They’re proud of that and it creates immediate and relevant opportunity for education about climate change and sustainability. Our estimates indicate that for every USD100 spent on the projects, at least one tonne of carbon dioxide is abated. Quality and great value. We use premium equipment and maintain the systems, so the schools will enjoy the benefits for decades. All business partners, not for profit and individual supporters receive detailed reports with images and videos, so they can see exactly where and how their contribution is making an impact in kids’ lives. The Yasawa, Taveuni and nearby islands are now targets – full of kids hoping we will give them a brighter future.
