Bright Books

Bright Books Bright Books- For every journal you purchase, you help provide brightness to a child need! Why Solar? Burning kerosene emits toxic fumes and pose a fire hazard.

About Us
At Bright Books, for every pair of journals purchased, we donate one solar light to those in need. Our journals are high-quality, stylish and representative of the people we serve. You get 128 pages for notes and musings, while a child in the developing world gets the gift of light. We work with non-profits to distribute lights to children and families in schools and refugee camps in the

most underserved areas of the world. Nearly 1.2 billion people lack access to basic electricity, making it difficult to study, work and travel safely after dark. With a clean, reliable source of energy, we can help brighten the future for children all over the world. The Lights
The lights we distribute are made by Nokero and provide durable, portable, solar light for hours on end. After charging in the sunlight, the lights can provide several hours of bright light. The Kids
One hundred twenty lights have already been sent to the Arlington Academy of Hope in rural Uganda in June 2016. Students can check out lights at the library and use them to light classrooms, walk home from school or study. More non-profits are in our pipeline to accept the lights in locations throughout Uganda and Mozambique. We want every light to get to those in the greatest need, so we are carefully selecting partners to help us distribute lights to students, displaced persons and others in great need across the globe. Solar lights quickly provide clean, bright light in places where normal electricity is not currently accessible. Nearly 1.2 billion people lack access to electricity¬¬, most of which are in Sub-Saharan Africa and developing Asia. In the absence of electricity or solar, many people use kerosene lamps, candles or batteries. These options are not sustainable, dangerous, and very expensive. Africans spend some $10.5 billion a year on kerosene, which has even higher health consequences. In fact, the WHO estimates 4.3 million people a year die prematurely from the exposure to indoor air pollution. Much of that pollution comes from burning solid fuels for cooking indoors and from kerosene lamps. Tragically, kerosene fires claim an estimated 1 million lives a year. If all that wasn’t bad enough, burning wood and kerosene also emit greenhouse gas emissions– which contribute to climate change. Solar lights can help reduce the use of kerosene- but the upfront cost is often cost-prohibitive. By donating to those MOST in need, we can help kids get clean light– a win-win-win for the environment, health and the economy. Bright Books’ also understands personal solar lights are just the tip of the iceberg, so we plan to help fund larger renewable energy projects in the future. Our founders didn’t start as journal aficionado’s— they are actually policy analysts who care about the environment. We work with non-profits to donate lights to those most in need who are not part of a normally functioning economy. As our donation sights grow, Bright Books will do our best to work with the community to make sure we are not disrupting the local economy. We believe clean energy can make a positive impact in the lives of students across the world and your purchases can help us get there.

Sometimes we don't always know what to say and offering them a way to channel their feelings can be an amazing way to let someone know you're thinking of them.
