Over 1.3 billion people don’t have access to electricity.

Millions more have unreliable and sporadic supply, meaning that over 2 billion people rely on biomass fuels such as kerosene for light.

The electricity grid is growing but is not keeping pace with population growth.

In 2020, 1.3 billion people still won’t have access to electricity.

How do we tackle this?

Infrastructure solutions offer an answer but are slow to proliferate. 

Household technologies require investment beyond the reach of those living on$2/day, and payments to finance these can become an ongoing cost.

So we're taking a different approach. One that we believe will have a bigger positive impact, will be more sustainable and is scalable.

We're doing this in the way we have developed GravityLight.

Our aim is to create a solution that is affordable - without locking people into ongoing costs – but not at the expense of quality or elegant design.

Rather than tweaking and updating existing solutions, we start with first principles and ask what people want and need.

We're doing this in our approach to distributing GravityLight

We are partnering with local networks of people earning a living by selling products such as GravityLight, rather than disrupting local markets and jobs with free giveaways.

We're doing this in our manufacturing strategy

We aim to create jobs and skills in the regions where GravityLight will be sold, firstly by establishing an assembly line in Kenya.

We're doing this in our organisational structure:

Three Markets. Two Organisations. One Mission.
