We are happy to inform that Selma Kveim is our new CEO from 15th of October. We had a chat with her to learn more about who our new leader is.

After delivering more than two million SunBells in off-grid areas around the globe, we now have a new solar product on the market: BRIGHT Move.

The BRIGHT SunBell solar lamp and phone charger was the first of its kind to be categorized as a UNHCR core relief item. Over 2 million lamps have since autumn of 2014 been distributed in refugee camps and emergency operations. But why is access to light and charging capabilities a vital basic need for displaced people?

Unclean energy sources in off-grid communities create household air pollution (HAP), which is considered the largest environmental health risk factor for human life by the World Health Organization (WHO) (p.3). Replacing toxic energy sources with solar power have numerous positive effects on health and well-being, contributing to fulfil UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number three.
