Light2Give is a U.S.-based educational and service-learning initiative that brings together STEM education, renewable energy, and community impact. Middle school students learn the fundamentals of solar energy by assembling solar lanterns—then donate those lanterns to local nonprofit organizations serving people experiencing homelessness in their own communities.

How Light2Give Works

• • • Students receive hands-on instruction in solar energy and basic electronics.

    • Working in teams, students assemble reliable, handheld solar lanterns.

    • Completed lanterns are donated to a local nonprofit partner.

    • The nonprofit distributes lanterns directly to individuals and families in need.

Why This Matters

For Students: Light2Give transforms abstract STEM concepts into meaningful, real-world learning. Students build confidence, teamwork & leadership skills, and a sense of civic responsibility—while discovering how renewable energy can solve real problems.

For Communities: Solar lanterns provide safe, renewable light for people without reliable access to electricity—supporting safety, dignity, and daily living.

    • Promote renewable energy literacy at an early age

    • Demonstrate authentic community investment and social responsibility

    • Support practical solutions for vulnerable populations

Join us in lighting the way.

Currently seeking funding for the spring 2026 school year to run Phase 2 of our Pilot Program which will serve 1,000 students (building 1,000 solar lanterns) in schools across the US.
