Help Save the Planet and Empower Women Across the Globe!
The K-Light is an innovative, eco-friendly solar-powered lantern, designed to stand up to the harshest environments. Approximately the size and weight of a can of soda, the unique combination of its solar-charging battery and bright, energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs), make the K-Light unlike any other product available today. Small, lightweight and rugged, the K-Light is perfect for outdoor activities such as camping, boating and hiking. The K-Light is ideal as an emergency light, too. Highly water-resistant and designed to be used as either flashlight or lantern, the K-Light can be charged and used anywhere—no matter the situation. The K-Light is a reliable, renewable light made to last through any kind of adventure. It’s also economical and environmentally friendly. Simply connect the solar panel to the K-Light and place it in direct sun for hours of clean, bright light.
PiSAT Solar has teamed up with the Koinonia Foundation to provide K-Lights to villages across Africa, replacing the dangerous kerosene lanterns commonly used on a continent where 75% of homes have no electricity. The K-Light is being brought to Africa through the Koinonia's Light for Africa micro-loan program, through which groups of African women are given a start-up "grant" of K-Lights to assemble and sell in their villages. Using 100% of the proceeds from the initial sale, they are able to purchase and sell more K-Lights (at a greatly reduced cost), establishing local business that provides an ongoing and sustainable source of income. Through the micro-loan program, African women are becoming empowered, spurring economic activity and providing their villages with a source of clean, lasting light. For every K-Light sold commercially, PiSat donates a portion of the proceeds to the Koinonia Foundation's Light for Africa micro-loan program.
