Mylo Fowler is hitting the road with his bicycle on a 400-mile trek, looking to raise funds to power Native American homes.
Fowler is a Navajo photographer, Native American advocate and humanitarian looking to raise funds to power Native American homes.
"Our goal is to raise $50,000, and all those funds will be used to power more homes later this fall," Fowler said."Typically that will help us power about 50 more homes." According to numbers from Heart of America, an estimated 14 percent of Native American families are without reliable access to power.
"If you don't have power, then you probably don't have the internet," said Fowler."These are things that certainly can keep children behind, and possibly even fall even further behind in education, so our goal is to minimize that gap and provide solar power for them.""A mom and dad or a kid pushes a button and boom, their home illuminates," he said."That does a lot for, you know, their house, what they can see.
