buildOn’s goal is to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education. buildOn mobilizes rural communities around the world to build new schools, empowering entire villages to increase their own access to life-changing education and literacy. The buildOn Adult Literacy Program is taught in seven countries around the world. Parents and grandparents in Burkina Faso, Haiti, Nepal, Nicaragua, Malawi, Mali, and Senegal are given the education they need to build a better life for themselves and for their children in the very same schools their children attend during the day.

What is LuminAID’s Give Light, Get Light Program?

1.6 billion people around the world lack proper access to electricity. Many of these people are forced to rely upon dangerous, toxic, and expensive kerosene lanterns as their primary source of light. Through our Give Light, Get Light program, we partner with NGOs and nonprofits all over the world to distribute LuminAID lights to individuals who will greatly benefit from a safe, rechargeable light source. LuminAID has distributed over 40,000 lights in more than 100 countries through the Give Light, Get Light program. Join us in our mission to make light more accessible and sustainable for all!

How is the Literacy Edition different than the standard PackLite Nova USB?

This Literacy Edition light is a PackLight Nova USB at its core, but it’s so much more than that. The word ‘read’ is printed around the base of the light in over 75 different languages, symbolizing the foundational importance of literacy the world over. And with a blue top and white strap, the sky’s the limit to what we can achieve together!
