3. 1: Introduction
Kopernik is an online marketplace connecting people in the developing world with
innovative, life-changing technologies.
Through Kopernikâs Fellowship programme, Michael Woon and Sally Bolton were
deployed to work with Kopernikâs local partners, Centro Feto and FEEO in
Oecusse, Timor-Leste.
Michael and Sally worked closely with the representatives and staff members of
Centro Feto and FEEO during their fellowship period (from November 2010 to
June 2011).
These are the results of their research on the impact of two of the technologies,
solar lights and rollable water containers, that Kopernik helped disseminate.
