LuminAID is actually an inflatable plastic pillow with a thin solar panel and two coin cell batteries. The package can be inflated and deflated down to where it can be packed completely flat. Photovoltaic film is laminated to polyethelenevinyl acetate plastic. The LuminAID device inflates to produce a quality of light similar to a lantern. A white-dot pattern on the device diffuses the light.

As darkness descends in Kenya, cities are lively and bright but in rural areas nearly everyone depends on kerosene lamps and candles for light. These are costly, polluting and a fire hazard. Millions of people in rural Africa use mobile phones but most have to walk miles to get them charged at a phone shop. But now a safe and affordable solution has arrived in the form of cheap, durable products charged by the sun.
ToughStuff International is a socially-driven enterprise selling a modular range of low-cost solar products for off-grid customers across Africa. A PV module costing just US$9 can bring all the promise of a lamp, mobile phone charger and radio connector. Already 140,000 have been sold and 740,000 people are enjoying the advantages.
ToughStuff distributes its products through conventional retailers such as supermarkets and mobile phone shops, in cities and rural areas. And its ‘Business in a Box’ partnership with NGOs and microfinance groups helps to set up rural entrepreneurs in more remote areas, to sell products, charge phones or rent lamps. ToughStuff also supplies products to relief agencies for use in disaster in countries like Haiti and Pakistan. The business has set its sights high, aiming to bring its products to 33 million low income people within four years.

In the remote island of Sitio Pagatpatan, Baranggay Codon, San Andres,Catanduanes, twenty seven families (27) mainly rely on firewood from nearby forests for night lighting, cooking and even for earning additional income in order to survive everyday living in the village. Such lifestyle does not only have a huge impact on the quality of life at the village but also on the depleting global environment. In addition, burning of firewood for cooking and night lighting have caused house fires and accidents and have exposed families to hazardous fumes.
Faced with these pressing problems, Councilor Jonathan Joson of San Andres, Catanduanes, in partnership with the Youth without Barriers’ Solar Power Initiative (SPIN) Project, came up with a decentralized rural electrification project for the said Baranggay dubbed as “Give Light, Change Lives in Codon” Project. The endeavor aims to provide households in Baranggay Codon access to free, clean and renewable power through the use of solar energy, and thus address the energy poverty situation in the community of Codon.
Conceptualized in 2010, the Spin Project targets remote and disadvantaged communities which do not have access to electricity and helps them utilize the energy from the sun through reliable and cost-effective solar lighting systems. SPIN does not only endeavor to inspire and empower people in rural villages to take advantage of an abundant resource but also to create and raise awareness on cleaner and sustainable ways people can use electricity, and, thus, find long-term solutions to the problem of energy poverty in our country.
Get involved now.
Help us bring solar power to Codon. Help us transform their lives into profoundly positive ways. Make a difference by supporting this Project.

Each year 1.6 million women and children die as a result of indoor air pollution, much of it from kerosene lamps. But for the 1.6 billion people across the world without electricity there has been little alternative. D.Light has provided that alternative thanks to a cheap, reliable solar lamp. Over 220,000 units have already been sold in over thirty countries via a network of rural entrepreneurs. As one of these entrepreneurs says, “this will do to kerosene what mobile phones did to letters”.
