The Challenge
Energy Poverty
In modern society, we face many challenges. Energy Poverty is a massive challenge, in which a whopping 17% of the Global Population lacks electricity. To elaborate, 1.2 Billion people have an absence of electricity in their lives. Electricity is an energy that is often taken for granted by those who use it in their everyday lives; smartphones, laptops, cars - are all applications where electricity thrives in the first world. Yet in locations such as Africa and the developing parts of Asia, people lack necessities like lightbulbs. Children and students are forced to burn kerosene lanterns to study and survive in the darkness. Kerosene lanterns are dangerous and inefficient as they damage the eyes of the users, and spread little light. In a world muffled by darkness, the people who lack electricity live difficult lives. This needs to change.
Our Mission
We, the founders of the Lumen Project, intend to spread to those who lack it. By sharing light to those in need, the poverty rate will shrink as the opportunity to be productive during the night will become a reality.
