Solar lightingGlenergy is a Canadian company committed to guiding people in the sensible application of solar and other renewable energies, particularly in North America and in the developing world. They specialize in solar lighting solutions — from camping lights for outdoor enthusiasts to reading lamps in African villages — but also offer a broad range of alternative energy system components, including charge controllers, inverters, meters and gauges, wind turbines and towers, and system batteries.
We turned to Glenergy for help developing a solar lighting system suitable for group reading in refugee camps, and they really came through. Their hanging LED lamp seems to be a perfect fit for our needs. With discounts, donations, and advice, Glenergy has helped us prepare for field testing of a system it is hoped will "revolutionize learning" for Darfur refugees and villagers in eastern Chad.
If you have any solar lighting or alternative energy needs, we encourage you to visit www.glenergy.ca to see if they have a product you need. We have found their prices to be highly competitive, so definitely take a look.

As a freelance writer I did several articles about this company several years ago. Glenergy was helping Third World countries long before it was a fashionable thing to do. By generously sharing products and technology it is now possible for remote villages to have light by which to read, thus furthering their education which is the only way they will ultimately escape poverty.
