Here’s a bright idea: The Light Up The World Foundation (LUTW) is an international humanitarian organization dedicated to illuminating the lives of the world’s poor. It is the first organization to utilize solid-state lighting technologies to bring affordable, safe, healthy, efficient, and environmentally responsible lighting to people currently without access to proper lighting.
LUTW is the world’s leader in the advancement and diffusion of this technology for development purposes and remains globally active in setting standards in this field. Its goal is to reach the approximately two billion people worldwide without access to adequate lighting.
Since inception, LUTW has lit up more than 14,000 homes in 42 countries through the support from individuals and organizations. Over 100,000 people have been impacted directly by LUTW’s work.
Impressive, really. We can only congratulate the people behind the organization for such a beautiful effort. Here’s a recent article about the work LUTW has done in South Africa.
