Give a Light.  Change a Life.
The Spark Foundation is a small charity making a big difference. Our donations of solar-powered lights are changing lives, and with your help we can do even more. A gift of just $50 will allow a family or classroom to replace poisonous and flammable kerosene lamps with clean and safe solar light.
KEROSENE: DIRTY, DIM and DANGEROUS 
  •  Families in the Developing World spend approximately $77 per year on kerosene for lighting.
  •  In the poorest communities where households survive on less than $1.50 per day, kerosene consumes 14% of the household budget.
  •  780 million women and children inhale kerosene fumes that are equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes per day.
  •  1.5 million people will die each year as a result of indoor air pollution.
  •  Kerosene is responsible for emitting 244 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
  • The light emitted by kerosene lamps and wax candles is dim and flickering, while just one LED lamp generates strong, steady light that is over 100 times brighter.
