We have a wide range of distribution partners. They share fundamental characteristics: 1) They have “feet on the ground”; i.e., established operations in the areas in which they distribute our lights; 2) They are well-established and well-known in those areas; 3) They are well-respected; the people who know them there like and trust them; 4) They agree that lights will be made available on a non-discriminatory basis; and 5) They agree that any markup they charge will be reasonable (we do not set their prices, but they tell us what they are). Our distribution partners include other nonprofit organizations, relief  organizations, small local efforts in particular places, schools, orphanages, small private businesses, churches, missionary organizations, large international charities and the like. Here are a few examples (listed alphabetically):

• Direct Relief International
• Edna Adan University Hospital
• Engineers without Borders - USA
• Flying Kites Leadership Academy
• Goats for Life
• MicroLoan Foundation USA/Malawi
  
• Project LIGHT
• Rotary International
• Street Girls
• Viagenco Hospice
• Village Energy Corporation
• Solar Sister

We believe that our distribution partners are in a far better position than we are to know the best way to distribute lights in their areas. Our experience to date underscores their wisdom of our partners. If your organization would like to know more about becoming one of our distribution partners, please contact Dawn O’Bar, Vice President.
