We’re thrilled to share that The Earthshot Prize has released an inspiring video recognizing the incredible impact d.light is making across Africa and beyond. This video highlights our journey and commitment to transform the lives of one billion people by 2030 with our groundbreaking solar-powered solutions. At d.light, we’ve already impacted 180 million lives, providing access to clean, affordable energy that’s transforming communities, empowering schoolchildren with light to study, and creating opportunities for economic growth in even the most remote areas. Our Chief Financial Officer, Ronald Pfende, also emphasizes a critical challenge: 600 million people still lack access to electricity, and many rely on kerosene lamps—a solution that poses serious health and sustainability hazards. d.light is addressing this head-on by providing safe, sustainable solar energy alternatives that are not just changing lives but protecting futures. This recognition from the Earthshot Prize motivates us even more to continue bridging the energy gap and building a sustainable future for all. Join us as we illuminate one billion lives by 2030! 💡 #CleanEnergy #EarthshotPrize #1BillionLivesBy2030 #SolarPower #SustainableFuture #ImpactfulInnovation #dlight #Africa #RenewableEnergy #TransformingLives #180MillionAndCounting
