Project Description:

Nuru lights are the most affordable and efficient re-chargeable lighting system for rural markets globally. Nuru has a unique distribution system which employs entrepreneurs from local cooperatives to operate their own microfranchises. Located in the customers’ communities, each entrepreneur will sell lights and then charge the customers a small fee to recharge the lights. This system is 95% more affordable than kerosene and protects the environment, eliminates health and fire risks, promotes education, and provides an income to poor women.
