Mission
Unite to Light envisions a world where every person has access to clean, affordable light and energy. They provide low-cost solar lighting and energy to people living without electricity to improve global health, education, prosperity, and fight climate change.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s director of development and/or Executive Director.
I’ve learned that meaningful change often begins with something simple. Unite to Light brings light and power to villages, clinics, and schools where darkness has limited opportunity. Suddenly, evenings become time to study, work, cook, care for family, and gather together. It is a privilege to be part of that transformation.
$2,500 Lights the Path to Graduation
A $2,500 investment funds a “Light Library” – providing solar lights for students to study safely after dark. Each light costs $10 and lasts 7-10 years, making it one of the most cost-effective education interventions available.
Unite to Light is seeking 25 donors at this level to help thousands more students stay in school and succeed.
Buy One. Give One.
For every product Unite to Light sells here in the U.S., they donate one to someone without electricity.
