How to Celebrate Giving Tuesday
To get you in the spirit of Giving Tuesday, we're shining the spotlight on three of our nonprofit partners that you may be unfamiliar with.
LuminAID Hurricane Dorian Response
We're working with nonprofit partners to distribute much-needed solar lanterns and phone chargers in the Bahamas, following the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian.
What We Learned From ShelterBox's "Recovery Starts With Shelter" Report
Longtime LuminAID partner, ShelterBox, recently released a report detailing the scale of the unmet need for emergency shelter around the world.
Reducing Fire Hazard in Vulnerable Communities
In many low-income regions and in communities recovering from disasters, electricity is limited or completely inaccessible. Lighting sources like kerosene lanterns and open-flame candles create dangerous environments for the families who use them.
Breaking Barriers to Education
An estimated 263 million children are out of primary and secondary school worldwide. Insufficient, unreliable, and dangerous lighting can be a limiting factor for many areas already struggling to provide accessible education to children.
Saving on Costs for Energy-Poor Families
The cost of a home without electric lights is high. Energy-poor families are estimated to spend 40 billion USD annually on fuel for inefficient candles and kerosene lanterns.
