It is a social project to empower the lives of kids in Africa in a stylish and ‘solar’ way, for sure. The much-acclaimed project is from YOLK, the famous innovator of Solar Paper solar chargers and Solar Cow.
Well, what happens in the Solar Cow project is that as buy a Solar Milk Solar Light you can choose another one for a kid in Africa if you wish to take part in the project. Resultantly, the child gets not only a physical light but a life also as he/she will need to go to school daily to recharge the same.
To put it another way, as you can charge your light from a USB-C port at your home or a portable power station, the kids in Africa will be able to recharge theirs only from YOLK’s award-winning Solar Cow charging stations installed in their schools. It will certainly end up increasing the attendance of kids in schools in Africa.
