You can help light the lives of people in developing countries when purchasing a new Solar Powered BOGO Flashlight through the Houston Zoo.
BOGO means Buy One—Give One.
Bogo Light in Africa
every night: use a dangerous and expensive kerosene lantern for light, or live through the night in utter darkness. If the available choice is less dangerous—for example, candles or single-use-battery flashlights—it is no less expensive or harmful for the environment. Two billion people are facing a decision that negatively impacts their health, income, education, and security, every night.SunNight Solar’s BOGO Light transforms the night by offering so many people in need a new choice. Generating clean LED light from rechargeable solar-powered batteries, SunNight Solar’s BOGO Light can go where other fuel-dependant lights can’t: to a poor person in a small village located far away from the electricity grid. And the BOGO Light can do what other lights can’t: change a life.
SunNight Solar’s BOGO Light helps solve the most daunting issues in the developing world: poverty, literacy and education, health and safety, environmental impacts, the empowerment of women, and family security.
With every purchase of a BOGO light from the Houston Zoo, we will donate one light to the village and communities of our conservation partners in the countries we are working to protect wildlife, wildlife habitat and the communities which surround them. In 2008, this included 350 lights sent to villages in Madagascar, Gabon and Malaysian Borneo. In 2009, we plan on shipping lights to Botswana, Madagascar, Republic of Congo and western Panama.
And a bit of a side note; back home in Houston, this light proved invaluable during the power outages of Hurricane Ike. No batteries. Just placed outside during the day and it worked for nights before needing to be recharged.
