Birth can be deadly without trained medical professionals and without the right equipment. Thousands of women give birth in dark huts every day. We equip trained professionals, such as midwives, with solar light and power so they can save lives. 
A simple solar light can increase the chance a student will stay in school and graduate by 30%. This project brings lights to remote villages so students can study after sundown, increasing literacy, economic advancement and opportunity. 
Disasters don’t care if you’re prepared or not. They don’t care about geography or economic situation. Solar light and power are vital in disaster and emergency situations; to hospitals, first responders, community health clinics and victims. 
Access to solar light and power for people experiencing homelessness ensures they can call for services, be reached in an emergency, communicate with their families and simply be able to see and read at night.
