About 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 50,000 lights in more than 100 countries from lights sponsored through the Give Light, Get Light Program. Join us in our mission to make light more accessible and sustainable for all!

If you are looking to purchase lights for humanitarian use, we offer a subsidized rate. Please visit our Nonprofit Subsidy page to apply today.

Featured Partner: SCM Medical Missions

SCM Medical Missions works to provide humanitarian and medical aid to the people affected by war and natural disaster in the Middle East and North Africa. The organization's primary focus right now is aiding the Syrian refugees in Jordan by sending supplies, providing educational and vocational programs (and providing the supplies for those programs), and distributing basic supplies and clothing to those in need.

Disaster Relief

Lights sponsored for disaster relief will be sent to partner organizations and distributed to families affected by disasters the world over. As disasters arise, these lights will be sent to the areas of greatest need with one or more of our humanitarian partners. Following natural disasters, safe light is one of the most critical needs for families left in the dark. Help us send lights for rescue, relief, and recovery.

Our current partners in disaster relief aid include Convoy of Hope, Team Rubicon, and Mercy Corps. These organizations are currently responding to Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.

Allocate As Needed

Our humanitarian partners are working every day to help those in need. We use our ‘Allocate As Needed’ fund to send lights to the areas where they will have the greatest impact. Whether that’s a rural village without access to electricity, a community-based healthcare project, or refugees fleeing a crisis, your contribution makes a tangible impact for those who need it most.
