Giving Light, Sharing Power

In poverty, access to consistent and safe light and power is essential to economic and emotional growth. If light chases darkness, then reliable and safe power promotes opportunity. Power and light are the building blocks for the future. Tifie works with Goal Zero to provide solar power systems to the communities we work with.

The Power System

Robert designed Goal Zero solar products after spending time in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and realizing the urgent need for families, school children and entrepreneurs  to have reliable power and light. The product needed to be easy to use in any culture, simple to use without instruction and be durable enough to survive in any environment. Goal Zero products were born from a humanitarian mission, providing a real solution to the poorest of poor and while providing an amazing product to adventure seekers. Tifie has partnered with Goal Zero around the world from DRC, the Navajo Nation, Ghana, New York City, and hundreds of remote areas that now have light and solar power.

Electricians in Ghana are trained on Solar Power Systems. Training increases their skills and income possibility.
A Navajo weaver uses Goal Zero light to work in the night. Her livelihood and productivity increases because she can work anytime.
Children are in Bwe’s first “movie theatre”, powered by Goal Zero. They have access to the national language (French) and get to do something fun with their friends.
