“There are a billion people without electricity; that is one in every seven people,” said Megan Birney, president/CEO of Unite to Light. The COVID-19 global pandemic has pushed even more people into energy poverty and stranded them in places without electricity. That is why we are excited to partner with The American Fundraising Foundation to host this auction. Donations from this event will help send light and power to students studying in huts, to midwives who have become frontline medical workers and to those suffering disasters and homelessness.”
Unite to Light partners with organizations in the U.S. and worldwide to get solar light and power into the hands of those who need it most: from schools and clinics to humanitarian aid and neighbors experiencing homelessness. Since 2010 Unite to Light has distributed 148,000 solar lights in an effort to fight inequality, one light at a time.
