Who We Are

We’re a values-driven non-profit social enterprise that operates globally but focuses on Africa.  Our values underpin our work.

What We Do

We design, manufacture and distribute solar and wind-up MP3 players and radios for humanitarian use. No one else does what we do.

Get Involved

We love it when people join us to make information and education accessible where it’s most needed. Let’s partner.

“I saw immediately the impact such a radio could have on impoverished peoples in Africa and the world.”
