Nokero has a vision to provide solar light bulbs capable of replacing kerosene lanterns now in wide use throughout the world.
We have many years experience in worldwide aid efforts, and know the light must be useful and lasting, must not easily break or get misplaced, and must stand up to the difficult social and environmental conditions in the places it is needed most.
Working hand-in-hand with non-governmental organizations, donors, and proactive groups around the world is critical to making that vision a reality.
Consider Nokero for your organization's projects:
- Education: Nokero's LED lights may help increase student's study time from 1.47 hours to 2.71 hours per day (UNFCCC study page 15).
- Microbusiness: Nokero is affordable enough that vendors can purchase small quantities and retail the light effectively, even in remote areas of the globe (UNFCCC study page 6).
- Economic growth: Consumers and off-grid businesses listed improved illumination as their most desirable improvement for their premises (UNFCCC study page 28).
- Community empowerment: LED technologies have been found to be less expensive, brighter, and safer than kerosene, improving productivity (UNFCCC study page 15).
- Women's rights: Nokero can make a useful edition to midwifery kits, safety kits, and entrepreneur kits which are meant to improve women's lives.
Nokero is the only solar light which can withstand the social and environmental rigors of the world's impoverished regions:
- Nokero is durable and rainproof.
- Nokero is simple and compact, so it's easy to transport and anyone, anywhere, can use it.
- Studies show kerosene lanterns are typically used for 1.5 hours per night, whereas the Nokero bulb lasts for about two hours (or more) after a day of charging in full sun. (UNFCCC study page 20).
- Nokero's light is more luminous, and steadier, than a flickering kerosene flame (wiki.org/kerosene and UNFCC study page 15).
- Nokero's light is safer, removing the risks of fire and indoor air pollution (UNFCCC study page 6).
- Nokero has a nickel metal hydride battery which last two years, is recyclable, and is replaceable for less than $1 US. Nickel metal hydride batteries are readily available around the globe. Use of these batteries can offset significant waste (UNFCCC study page 37).
- Nokero is small and easy to conceal or carry... making it difficult to steal.
Nokero is committed to working with NGOs and other organizations to ensure that Nokero is used wisely.
