OUR
MISSION
“17% of the global population lacks access to electricity, despite modest improvements”
International Energy Agency (IEA)
THE
FACTS
1.2 Billion
people do not have access to electricity or national electric grids, relying on hazardous alternatives
3.8 Million
"premature deaths annually from noncommunicable diseases are a direct result of the use of kerosene lamps and open fires" (WHO)
7 out of 10
people in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to reliable and safe lighting
50%
of “premature deaths due to pneumonia among children under 5 are caused by air pollutants” (WHO)
HOW
WE HELP
ECO-SPARK provides reliable lighting access to developing regions​ through its integrated LED lighting mechanism that can generate more than 3 hours of lighting when fully charged
We reduce health risks associated with the use of hazardous kerosene lamps and open fires (primarily used for lighting needs) by providing a safe, clean and eco-friendly alternative
ECO-SPARK allows for the simplified transportation of raw materials, such as firewood and water, and personal equipment, while also harvesting energy for the user
Through our sustainable and eco-friendly design, we aim to reduce the creation of air pollutants and the destruction of fragile ecosystems
WATCH THE
TEDx TALK
In 2016, ECO-SPARK had the opportunity to present at the annual Pine Crest School TEDxTalk. In the talk, we discussed the background and impact of global energy poverty and how ECO-SPARK's cost-effective solution could help combat this growing global issue. Moreover, we encouraged other inventors, entrepreneurs and researchers to try to solve social global issues that are currently impacting our generation.
