Barefoot Power is a social entrepreneurial business.  We design and manufacture technology products specifically for poor people that have the potential to reduce poverty in developing countries.

We believe that energy access is one of the key building blocks of economic development.  Our first area of focus, therefore, is on the most basic use of electricity - lighting.

Over US$10 billion is spent each year on kerosene for lighting in the homes of the poor in developing countries^[1].  Our mission is to help poor families to stop spending their scarce cash by giving them a better and cheaper option.  We are declaring war on kerosene!

To do this, we have developed a range of affordable quality lighting products and initiated their mass manufacture. 

We aim to establish an efficient grass roots distribution network to supply the poor with these and other 21st century technology products.
