The Lumen Project Information

In modern society, we face many challenges. Energy Poverty is a massive challenge, in which a whopping 17% of the Global Population lacks electricity. To elaborate, 1.2 Billion people have an absence of electricity in their lives. Electricity is an energy that is often taken for granted by those who use it in their everyday lives; smartphones, laptops, cars - are all applications where electricity thrives in the first world. Yet in locations such as Africa and the developing parts of Asia, people lack necessities like lightbulbs. Children and students are forced to burn kerosene lanterns to study and survive in the darkness. Kerosene lanterns are dangerous and inefficient as they damage the eyes of the users, and spread little light. In a world muffled by darkness, the people who lack electricity live difficult lives. This needs to change. We, the Founders of the Lumen Project, envision societies with light. In order to share the light that people take for granted, we are fabricating Electric Generators that will be provided for free to those who lack electricity in unfortunate places in Asia and Africa. A wise woman named Eleanor Roosevelt once said that "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." We believe that this quote undermines our core values, and we take this quote to heart. Help us change the world, visit our website at www.thelumenproject.com.
