For anyone curious about the Little Sun, here’s more from the Little Sun webpage on the Liverpool Science Festival website,
Little Sun puts the power of the sun in the palm of your hand – creating safe, convenient, sustainable light you can take with you wherever you go. But Little Sun is much more than a lamp – it’s a global project and social business that is connecting the world through sharing light.Artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen developed the Little Sun solar-powered lamp to get clean, reliable, affordable light to the 1.6 billion people living without electricity in areas known as ‘off-grid’ areas. The kerosene lanterns commonly used off-grid are toxic, and they carry the risk of burns and house fires. Little Sun solar light is a clean, safe alternative. And over a 2-year period, Little Sun saves off-grid users 90% of what they would spend on kerosene lighting.
Currently Little Sun is available in eight African countries: Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Senegal, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa, as well as in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Little Sun uses on-grid investment to kick-start off-grid small businesses that sell Little Suns, providing funding for sales agents to receive business starter kits and micro-entrepreneurial training.
Little Suns are sold at a higher price in areas of the world with electricity so that the lamps can be sold in off-grid areas at much lower, locally affordable prices. So when you buy a Little Sun, you are making sure that much-needed solar light gets to people who need it the most.
Good luck!
