One in four people, globally, lack access to electricity.

This number is increasing.

This population, for the most part, relies on fuel-based lighting (such as kerosene), which is expensive, polluting, hazardous and inefficient.   

Alongside promoting alternative energy in North America, Glenergy is committed to the transition from fuel-based lighting to clean, safe and affordable solar lighting for those who need it most.

From our Glenergy hubs in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, we are distributing solar-powered LED lanterns, launching village-level entrepreneurs with solar charging micro-businesses, and working with NGOs and philanthropic entrepreneurs on community development projects across East Africa. 

Sustainable, solar lighting changes lives. So far, Glenergy has delivered solar lighting to 48 countries.
