Receiving the solar lights, Deputy Head of the Economic Department of Tra Tap Commune Nguyen Do Tri excitedly said: "There have been many activities to donate solar lights in the past in the locality, but not on a large scale like this time. People are very happy with the donation of the power system and gifts from the Lighting project of JCI Da Nang".

JCI Da Nang was established with the goal of connecting and developing entrepreneurs in Da Nang city. With diverse activities in community development, skills training, and networking, the organization has made a positive contribution to the development of the city and surrounding areas.

In addition to the activity of bringing solar power to Kiep Xoan village, JCI Da Nang previously deployed "lighting" activities in many locations in Nam Tra My district, Quang Nam province (old), now Nam Tra My commune (Da Nang city).
