Update #12 · Jan 9, 2013 · 5 comments

there are 330,000 reasons to read this update

That is the number of people we still want, need, must, should help with safe, sustainable solar light.

there are 40,000 reasons to be thrilled

That is the number of people YOU have a already supported through this Kickstarter campaign. 40,000 people who no longer risk getting burned, who can study in the evening, who can cook, work and make some extra money. 40,000 people among which many youngsters who don't need to go out on the street to make trouble in the dark... Haiti will become a safer place when light replaces darkness. In some tent camps more than 100 women are raped every single day. Many of you may not expect such shocking news in an update this way, but I found out tonight actually... imagine if we can do something to prevent that...  

there is 1 reason to act now

because you simply can.

$69 Reward tier = safe light for 10 people

Either if you pledge the $69 Reward tier, or if you add $10 do  your existing pledge, you will allow for not 1 family to receive a WakaWaka Light in Haiti, but 2 families! With an average family size of 5 people, you are seriously impacting the lives of 10 people with every WakaWaka Power purchase. We like to call that "awesome impact" !

      Camille has elsewhere stated that each $10 increment buys another lamp for Haiti !
      Don't stop at just 1 extra.

      Pledged.
      But you need to show use of a yellow (amber) LED or add a blue-blocking filter (they're cheap, some theatrical filters do this) for evening use. Medical concerns can be avoided
      by doing that.

      I am pledging 59 dollars at the 49 dollar level, I assume this is what is meant and will work to offer up 2 lights?
