Donate to Pedal-generated light for millions of Nepalis

The GlobalGiving Foundation

GlobalGiving allows you to find and donate directly to locally-run social and environmental projects around the world. From promoting female empowerment in Afghanistan to providing accessible healthcare in rural Uganda, GlobalGiving opens up the world to people who want to make an impact on global issues at the grassroots level.

The GlobalGiving Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, meaning that your purchase is tax-deductible. While we gladly accept additional donations, there are no shipping fees or extra costs associated with your purchase.

After receiving payment, we will send you a confirmation email and an official tax receipt. Your donation goes directly to GlobalGiving and is then transferred to the project you select. 10% of the donation amount is used by GlobalGiving to cover operational overhead and to continuously improve and expand our giving services.

The Project

For millions of Nepalis night brings darkness, broken only by the dim light of a kerosene wick or hearth fire. Both make smoke that causes lung disease. Access to the electric grid or to clean power from local hydro, solar or biogas sources is often impractical or unaffordable. After dark families cannot work and children cannot study. In the day, schools cannot access recorded educational material. Batteries cannot be recharged. Telecommunication is impractical.

EcoSystems’ generator produces 70 Watts, charges batteries, lights lamps, runs a TV. The generator and other parts of the system will be distributed through organizations which help consumers with financing and maintenance.
