Dawoodi Bohra Students in Dubai Highlight COP28 Opening by Creating 250 Handcrafted Solar Lights

Showcasing their passion for environmental sustainability, Dawoodi Bohra students from the Dubai, celebrated the opening of COP28 today with the unveiling of a stunning Large-Scale Net Zero Artwork.
Partnering with Liter of Light and Dawoodi Bohra’s global philanthropic initiative, Project Rise, over 500 students came together in this Climate Action workshop to handcraft 250 solar lights, each capable of reducing a metric tonne of carbon emissions over its five-year working life.
The installation, unveiled on the first day of COP28, signifies a powerful contribution to the conference's theme of actionism. Each of these beacons of sustainable energy and environmental responsibility took just 30 minutes to assemble.
The programme aligned with the UAE Year of Sustainability and coincided with the UAE’s 52nd National Day. Illac Diaz, the founder of the social initiative Liter of Light and My Shelter Foundation was invited to the school campus as a special guest of honor and speaker alongside the representative of Sultan al Bohra Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin in the UAE, Kinana Jamaluddin.
