The Soular Backpack

The Soular Backpack Channeling the energy of the sun into creating a brighter future for every child - The Soular Backpack To get involved, contact us.

The Soular Backpack allows kids in rural areas to leverage the power of the sun on their long walks to and from school every day. The backpack has a solar panel on it, whose storage battery would later connect to an LED lamp, hence allowing children in rural areas, who have no access to electricity or who use kerosene, to study through the night. 1 hour in the sun would result in 6 hours of light.

$50,000 has been raised through a crowdfunding campaign and the first 500 backpacks are already on the ground. The Soular Backpack is something that we truly believe can impact the lives and futures of millions of children, not only in Kenya but in Africa. It targets the issue of education, the lack of electricity, and the health complications that arise due to kerosene. 4,000 deaths occur daily as a result of kerosene induced illnesses, according to the World Bank. The result of a disrupted education is the perpetuation of the vicious cycle of poverty, where children turn to child prostitution and human trafficking as a way to make a living.
