ProAct is teaming up with the online environmental game OodysS to provide internally displaced (IDP) school children in Sudan with rechargeable lamps. OodysS is an online game for kids ages 8-15.  It is both fun and highly educational, teaching kids about the environment.

Enter the land of OodysS and play with Manylia the monkey, Stremax the kangaroo, Chilatal the meercat, Muduu the panda and Partalis the Ostrich while protecting our environment both in the game and in real life! The game allows you to earn Ecus (OodysS currency) which you can donate to three real life projects – one of which is “Eco-Lamps for Kids”.

For parental guidance concerns, the game has incorporated safety controls suitable for children and is highly monitored.

Eco-lamps are rechargeable lamps

Few rural African villages or houses have access to electricity or other forms of power for lighting. As a result, school children are unable to study after dark and people are prevented from working in many places, which represents a loss of income for many families. Traditional forms of lighting such as kerosene are expensive, can be dangerous and are generally bad for peoples’ health.

By donating your Ecus to this project, you will provide refugee school children in Darfur, Sudan with eco-friendly, safe and maintenance-free LED personal lamps.

The children can easily recharge their lamps by pedaling on a specially made bicycle generator at their school. This will enable them to study and read after dark, and improve their safety when moving around. We aim to provide 5,000 school children with a personal lamp.
