The Problem

There are approximately 1.5 billion people (over 20% of the world’s population) without a consistent source of light in their homes. Being marginalized from the grid has dire consequences: (i) illiteracy, (ii) continued poverty due to lack of productivity tools, and (iii) risk of respiratory diseases for children due to kerosene inhalation. 

Due to the location and difficulty to power these communities, it is unlikely that the public electrical grid will reach these families.
