Three Markets. Two Organisations. One Mission.
Kerosene Replacement
1.3 billion people don't have access to electricity. Millions more have a sporadic and unreliable supply. Affordable off-grid lights are essential to meeting this need for clean, safe and reliable lighting.
Relief
In 2014, there were 51 million refugees and IDPs (internally displaced people). UN organisations reach 24 million of these.
In crowded camps, an easily overturned kerosene lamp can have disastrous and deadly impact.
Developed Markets
8.1 million people lost power due to Hurricance Sandy and 4.4 millions due to Tohuku Tsunami.
From preparing for the next natural disaster, lighting up a porch and cabin, or a unique reading light for children, our crowdfunding campaign highlighted many reasons why people wanted GravityLight across the world.
The GravityLight Foundation is a UK Registered Charity working to alleviate poverty and protect the environment through innovative design.
With a focus on the 'kerosene replacement' market, The Foundation aims to eliminate kerosene by providing an affordable, safe and reliable alternative.
In parallel, we have established Deciwatt Ltd. a UK based company that forms the other half of our social venture.
Deciwatt designs and develops off-grid, clean energy solutions for emergency relief and a range of applications in developed markets.
A proportion of its profits go to the GravityLight Foundation to support the mission of eliminating kerosene lamps.
