SunNight Solar does it again! This time the “Buy One Give One” campaign has as selling product a sunlight powered flashlight for Third World countries. For only 50 dollars you can buy one for yourself and one will be sent to the poor people in developing countries for free.
This flashlight has been created with the help of the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program and tested in difficult environments by researchers from the US Department of Energy, so as to offer the American buyer the best reliable and non-polluting light source that can be used at night.
It is just a simple house accessory for any American, but it is practically like electricity in developing countries where you won’t always find it in everybody’s home.
The SunNight Solar basically provides free light and the place you want to send the spare one is of your choice; it can be any non-profit organization or even the military troops based in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The founder of this campaign is Mark Bent, an ex-soldier who spent many of his military years in Africa, in harsh conditions that often supposed having to get around at night with no light source available, and who realized the importance of light in people’s lives.
