We light up homes, create safe spaces, and bring hope to refugee and displaced families through clean, reliable energy.
The Light for Peace project delivers renewable energy solutions to underserved and low-income communities, focusing on refugees in Nigeria’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. By providing solar lamps, we empower individuals and families to rebuild their lives with dignity, safety, and hope. We firmly believe that electricity is more than just power—it’s the spark for transformation and the key to unlocking potential.
Through the Light for Peace initiative, over 10,000 refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) now have access to safe, sustainable energy solutions. By providing solar-powered lighting and charging stations, we have enhanced safety, education, and economic opportunities, ensuring that those affected by displacement can rebuild their lives with dignity.
We have deployed solar-powered street lights, portable lamps, and charging stations in two major IDP camps, significantly improving security, mobility, and living conditions. Nighttime visibility has reduced risks of violence, accidents, and restricted movement, making the camps safer spaces for families, women, and children.
To combat energy poverty in crisis zones, we have distributed 500+ solar lamps to displaced families, enabling them to study, cook, and conduct daily activities after dark without relying on hazardous kerosene or candles. These lamps are portable, durable, and life-changing, ensuring that no one is left in the dark, even in times of crisis.
Through Light For Peace, children can now study after sunset without the strain of dim candlelight or hazardous kerosene lamps. Parents can extend their work hours, opening doors to entrepreneurship and increased productivity. By providing reliable lighting, we empower families to create better futures, support local economies, and foster safer, more resilient communities.
With our solar lighting solutions, communities no longer have to rely on unsafe, makeshift lighting sources. Well-lit pathways and communal spaces reduce the risks of navigating dark areas, especially for women and children, who are often the most vulnerable to accidents and violence. We are committed to creating safer, more inclusive environments where families can move freely without fear.
By replacing kerosene lamps with our solar-powered lighting solutions, we have eliminated a major source of indoor air pollution and improved overall health and well-being in the communities we serve. Kerosene fumes contribute to respiratory illnesses, eye irritation, and long-term health risks. With every solar light we install, we reduce harmful emissions, promote cleaner air, and create healthier living conditions.
At LightEd, we understand that access to energy is about more than just lighting—it’s about connection, security, and opportunity. Our solar-powered charging stations provide refugees with a reliable way to charge their phones, allowing them to stay connected with loved ones, access vital information, and explore opportunities for education and employment.
