The Problem
_Lighting should be safe, clean and affordable to all.
Over 1.5 billion people rely on fuels such as kerosene for
lighting. Such fuels are expensive and provide inferior light for
studying and other purposes. They produce smoke and soot which are
unhealthful, irritate the eyes and lungs and expose all the those around
them to the same negative health effects as heavy smoking. Lack of
suitable home lighting is directly linked to illiteracy, poverty and
heath problems. The current widespread burning of kerosene for lighting
results in substantial carbon release and environmental pollution.
