ENDING GENERATIONAL POVERTY
Providing families with the tools and knowledge to take control of their future. And it all starts with a solar light.
Nearly 1 billion people live in the darkness of ultra-poverty
They’re forced to spend up to 30% of their income on dangerous, non-renewable energy sources.
Watts of Love exists to help them take back that 30% and change not just their current standard of living, but the entire trajectory of their future.
BREAK THE CYCLE
It starts with the gift of light.
Watts of Love’s patented solar lights offer immediate savings by eliminating the need for costly fuel and toxic batteries.
CHANGE THE FUTURE
Education makes it last.
Our financial training workshops teach how to turn savings into sustainable income that lifts families out of poverty.
OUR UNIQUE APPROACH
A proven, Scalable way to END THE CYCLE OF poverty
Watts of Love is the only organization offering a comprehensive solution that combines solar light and financial literacy, and has a proven track record in ending generational poverty.
EQUIP
Each family receives a solar light and immediately begins saving.
TRain
Our unique financial education curriculum trains families to save, invest, and build for the future.
EMPOWER
Families identify their dreams, set goals, and take ownership of how to direct their savings.
SCALE
Our locally-led teams are self-sufficient, allowing us to have an immediate and significant impact.
Solar lights ARE one of the strongest tools available to break the cycle of poverty.
Watts of Love believes everyone has equal value and deserves opportunities. We focus on the most vulnerable communities, especially those without access to light, including those living in remote areas, urban slums, and leper colonies.
Our program prioritizes women, as they reinvest 90% of their income back into their families, compared to 35% for men. We don't just distribute lights but also educate and empower recipients from day one. Our financial literacy curriculum, designed for audiences with limited formal education, teaches people how to save, invest in their families, and break free from dependence on costly kerosene.
By saving money typically spent on kerosene or batteries, we help people start small businesses, send children to school, and build a path to economic prosperity. We encourage each light recipient to identify their big dream, and empower them to set goals for poverty alleviation within one generation.
