ABOUT US
Imagine paying $10 per month to light your home with a single kerosene
lantern or cooking dinner on a campfire in your kitchen. Over half the
people in the world do not have access to safe and affordable products
to meet their basic needs for simple tasks like cooking meals,
lighting homes, or purifying water. As a result, billions of people
suffer from preventable illnesses, deplorable living conditions, and
energy poverty.
To solve this problem we have created an innovative marketing,
wholesale distribution, and micro-franchise company, to connect people
living in poverty to a network of sustainable products and resources.
We manage a worldwide distribution network for clean technology
products (e.g. solar lights, windup radios, UV water purifiers, solar
cell phone chargers) and empower local sales people to bring clean
technology to remote corners of Peru. As a result, people live
healthier, gain new employment opportunities, and conserve precious
natural resources.

website and documentary coming out soon at PowerMundo.com

Are you guys doing anything in Mongolia? This project initially started from the business side with a team from my entrepreneurship class taking on the business plan writing. Glad to see it still going.
