Solight Design harnesses the power of the sun to generate lighting where none is available

Buying a SolarPuff™ furthers the social mission of Solight to distribute light in the regions of extreme poverty such as Asia and sub-Saharan. Every time you make a purchase, 10% of the Solight sales goes to giving light to children in need. The Solight strategy is to subsidise the distribution of SolarPuffs™ by working with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as with local communities. This system for providing light to those in need is a multi-faceted and cross-disciplinary approach to tackling issues of extreme poverty. Solight partner with on-the-ground communities and local women in villages in order to create economic opportunities for long-term sustainability.
