Mission

An excited little girl in India with her new solar light

One Million Lights’ mission is to improve the daily lives of children and adults by providing clean and healthy lighting. Our goal is to distribute one million (1,000,000) solar lights to replace dangerous and polluting kerosene lamps.

We provide clean, safe, affordable solar lighting to rural communities around the world through our international distribution programs, made possible by partnerships and donations. These solar lights enable children to study at night and adults to extend their workday, all while eliminating carbon emissions, improving household health, and greatly increasing income savings.

One Million Lights also works with local schools to increase awareness of global issues.

One Million Lights is a part of the World of Color public charity, a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Palo Alto, CA. Today, World of Color does  business as (d.b.a.) One Million Lights. Our Federal EIN number is 26-3027982.
