Even though the lightbulb was invented more than a century ago, for most families living without access to electricity, the day begins and ends in darkness – cutting short on family time, study time and play time.

Digital Fire and partner agency Creative Spark have assisted with the launch of the “Gift of Light” initiative with Philips and the Philips Foundation and we urge businesses to join to make a difference.

Join us in giving the Gift of Light

The Gift of Light initiative moves to improve the living conditions of families living without access to electricity through the donation of specifically developed Philips innovations. Philips aims to combat the obstacles facing low-resource communities with a range of high-quality, long lasting products.

Your donation will go towards solar lamps, lighting systems and (Jiko) cookstoves that have been specifically developed to create a safer and healthier household for semi-urban and rural communities in Africa.

“Philips would like to encourage all South Africans to partner with us in 2015 in our Gift of Light initiative by providing one of our innovations to people who lack even basic infrastructure. From as little as ZAR 300, individuals or corporates can make a meaningful difference and improve the lives of others in Southern or East Africa,” says Christoph Castellaz, Head of Strategy and New Business Development, Philips Africa.

We urge you to join us in donating sustainable lighting solutions to off-grid communities in Africa and making a difference in the lives of others.
