Company Description




Why
we do what we do?






Over
US$10 billion is spent each year on kerosene for lighting in the homes of the
poor in developing countries in the world. The poor burn US$17 billion of
kerosene each year in lanterns to light their homes.  The light cast from
a kerosene lamp is poorly distributed, has a low intensity and is
expensive.  The poor lighting levels from kerosene lamps makes it
difficult for children to study, affecting literacy and education, and
minimizes the effective working hours for income generating activities. 
The open flame, smoke and soot from kerosene lamps endanger lives by reducing
indoor air quality and increasing the likelihood of fire. 



The
negative impacts of energy poverty are sobering.



  • The
    World Health Organization (WHO) report that there are over 300,000 deaths
    every year from burns, the vast majority of these occur in low and middle
    income countries. 
  • Nearly
    4 million women suffer from severe burns from open fires and kerosene
    lighting each year: similar to the number who are diagnosed with AIDS each
    year. 
  • More
    children die from fire related injuries than fatalities from tuberculosis
    or malaria.


Burns
are, however, only part of the debilitating impact of energy poverty. 



  • The
    poor, mostly women and children, consume the equivalent of two packs of
    cigarettes per day of smoke from indoor air pollution, resulting in
    chronic respiratory and eye diseases.
  • The
    United Nations Development Program and the WHO report that 1.6 million
    deaths per year in developing countries are caused by the indoor air
    pollution attributed to traditional fuels – that’s one life lost every
    20 seconds.


Energy
Poverty must be reduced
– and our affordable lighting
products is the way to help people onto the ladder out of energy poverty.
