The ‘Give Them Light‘ project donated solar-powered light bulbs to vulnerable tribes, families and mainly children living without electricity in rural areas. It became a personal journey and the start of Kiran’s own social project since volunteering during the Philippines Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.
Why solar lights? Because its an easy solution to help light up homes, to stop the usage of kerosene lamps/candles, it’s an awareness for others to notice tribes and to get more help into this areas.
Most importantly it’s clean green energy for children to read, mother’s to feed their babies, for women to protect themselves, walking lights and also works as an emergency light.
How Can You Help?
The cost of each Nokero N233 solar light is US$15.00, which includes shipping and our delivery expenses.

How Does This Work?
This chain reaction can only happen with ‘YOU’. When sufficient funds are collected for the total lights needed for that certain area, We will purchase the Nokero solar lights and ship them to location.
Delivery will be made within 2-3 weeks of receiving the lights. The cost includes price of light, shipping, custom fees and logistics to get the lights into different villages.
