The <strong>energy exclusion is a reality</strong> <strong>which touches and weakens</strong> a great deal of <strong>populations worldwide</strong>.</p>
<p>
Native of the Gabon, a central Africa country, my sister and I were not able to miss observing certain facts which constitute the everyday life of numerous inhabitants:</p>
<p>
- Insufficient supply of electricity on a national scale (defect of lighting)</p>
<p>
- Unballasting and frequent power cuts (access to the lighting restricts by district and per hour)</p>
<p>
- Interruption of economic activity for micro and small companies</p>
<p>
- Frequent household accidents (burns and poisonings due to kerosene lamps and other alternative processes)</p>
<p>
</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
All these reports thus encouraged us to strengthen the colossal work of the state in its campaign of electrification, by the supply of sustainable and responsible devices allowing the Gabonese people to reach the light.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>OUR AMBITION:</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Enlighten the everyday life of the Gabonese </strong>by leading the light to all! For us, this light does not have to be a luxury reserved only for the people who have means. It is important to act for all, for those who face a non-existent access to the electricity and who evolve far from it , in not linked zones for example; and also for those who have a limited access to this electricity.</p>
<p>
Gab by Light will bring them a modern and operational solution. The use of our solar-powered portable lamps is a viable strategy of lighting. This strategy allows to supply all communities, city-dwellers and country-dwellers, a clean energy looking forward to the national electricity networks.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>PROGRESS:</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The idea to import and to market solar-powered portable lamps at a lower cost was so born! This will being added to a number of actions offered us a real opportunity: an exclusive partnership for the distribution of a range of solar-powered portable lamps on the Gabonese territory.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u>Previous a</u><u>ctions</u></p>
<p>
- Researches for products with an effective, reliable and not polluting technology</p>
<p>
- First contact with the supplier</p>
<p>
- In-house supply and essays on lamps (autonomy, resistance, design, test on the solar panels, test on cables supplied to reload mobiles and small electronic devices, etc…)</p>
<p>
- Investigation, with our lamps, on a night market and collection of first impressions on them. The interest carried on our products was lively; certain people wished to buy some immediatly. <strong>The need is real.</strong></p>
