In honor of International Women’s Day, we are featuring the ShelterBox SHE Campaign, an initiative piloted by our partner ShelterBox. In organizing this campaign, ShelterBox hopes to highlight the stories of women around the world who have received training to rebuild their lives in the face of crisis. In addition to recognizing and celebrating the achievements of women, the campaign sheds light on how women are disproportionately affected by disasters.

February has been designated as Earthquake Awareness Month. Earthquake relief is extremely important to us at LuminAID, as some of our earliest work was focused on relief efforts following the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. If you live in an area affected by earthquakes, it’s important to have a plan in place.

Happy National Inventors' Day! To celebrate, we're sharing LuminAID’s recent segment on The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation with Mo Rocca. Our founders, Anna and Andrea, were featured on the show and discussed the innovation behind LuminAID's solar inflatable lanterns.

This past Thursday, January 17th Brooklyn Boulders turned the lights way down and climbed the night away at their first-ever indoor (outdoor-style) night climb! Climbers came through to BKB's Queensbridge facility with their harnesses, headlamps, and super-stoked attitudes—ready for an indoor climb like no other! LuminAID's PackLite Spectra USB helped light the way for climbers as they tackled boulder problems and top-roped towering heights, all while bathed in vibrant color.

Longtime LuminAID partner, ShelterBox, recently released a report detailing the scale of the unmet need for emergency shelter around the world.
