Millions of refugees around the world have no access to electricity, forcing them to rely on deadly​ alternative solutions such as kerosene lamps and candles. In 2017 an entire camp burned down in Lebanon from a fire that started from a gas canister explosion. This led us to work on finding a sustainable, low cost and compact solution that would replace gas and candles.

Our research started by visiting camps. We noticed that most look the same, each family has and average 3×3 meter tent space with a laundry line hanging outside. We found the solution in laundry.

An average clothespin spends around 8 hours in the sun everyday. We took those hours and put them to good use. We created the world’s first solar clothespin. All a person had
to do was leave it in the sun all day and then bring it home at night and connect it to a low cost led lamp that would give light for several hours.
