We all want to be independent, to stay connected, and to thrive.
This is less accessible for some of us. And we can change that.
Mobile phone use has seen unprecedented growth in Africa. This means that limited budgets do not necessarily dictate spending on basic needs alone. We want to stay connected.
Without access to electricity, many people walk long distances every few days to pay businesses like barbershops to charge their phones.
Many charge with a 12V battery, which can make the phone’s battery swell or even explode. This means re-buying phones and other devices often.
Sound frustrating, inefficient and dangerous? Now add frustrations, delays and security problems when there is no light to study, work, or travel with at night.
With (solar) power in people’s hands, the possibilities are endless.
Charged phones, well-lit nights, ideas spreading, businesses thriving.
1 billion more mobile phone users worldwide by 2020 means at least 1 billion (solar) opportunities to accelerate independence, connectedness and enterprise.
A sustainable ecosystem of solar products complements, and does not interrupt, active lifestyles everywhere. It can all start with just one Portable Solar Charger.
