Could you imagine our kids reading by kerosene light?

Sharing is caring!

My day consists of constantly turning off light switches or telling kids not to forget to turn off the lights. They are small. They are learning. I know this. Do you feel the same way?
Sometimes it seems like at night our house is a beacon of light in the neighborhood because it is literally shining that much. There is something about kids and lights that attract the two together. I do remember being a child and my parents saying much of the same thing that I tell my kids on a daily basis. You would think it would get old at some point!
Life as we know it these days would not exist without light. Honestly, if there is a thunderstorm or power outage my kids go crazy. Still attempting to flip the light switches or illuminating the house with the billions of flashlights we own. This is what they are used to. This is what we are all used to. Lights are a luxury. At least this is the point I am trying to make when I am constantly repeating myself to my kids and even my husband on a daily basis.
Did you know that developing communities all around the world use kerosene for light, which is dangerous and toxic. In some communities, they simply have no light to run businesses, keep health clinics open, or be comfortable at home with their families. It is so hard to imagine this all day when I am chasing kids down and turning off light switches, but indeed it is so true.

Direct Energy recently partnered with MPOWERD to bring their solar Luci light to the developing world. The Luci light is really something incredible. It is a totally safe and efficient solution to bringing light to the darkness that so many people experience. The Luci light can shine up to 12 hours on a single charge. Aside from that they are super cool in design! The Luci light is inflatable, waterproof, durable, and solar powered. So you could totally use it anywhere! My kids are loving it! They think it is super cool! You get lighting all in one compact energy efficient product and no electricity required. And it has helped cut down on my light switch complaints.
Direct Energy is also offering something new in the way of electric plans. The Give Brighter 12 Plan is a 12-month-fixed-rate electricity plan that has been developed with the partnership of Direct Energy and MPOWERD. For everyone who participates in Direct Energy’s Give Brighter 12 plan MPOWERD will send one Luci light to a developing part of the world, and one to the customers’ home. This is such an important cause. So many families out there do not have the luxury of lighting to share meals and quality time. This effort makes that possible.
