Who:
We are looking for distribution partners who are established organizations/non-profits with a proven track record of creating positive social impact, especially in the education sector in energy poor areas.
Why:
We are looking to donate 1M solar powered lights and need help getting the lights into the right hands where they will do the most good.
- We hope to pull from the collective experience & knowledge of distribution partner’s “troops” on the ground to determine the communities and schools where our contribution will make the greatest social impact.
- We don’t believe in a “drop off, and leave” mentality.
- We believe in educating, empowering, and supporting communities.
- Our light distribution partners will maintain a continued presence in these schools and communities, as REVEL GEAR will be following up on a regular basis to gauge the effectiveness of the lights, unexpected additional needs, and ultimate impact. (We hope to learn from and optimize our approach as we scale)
- We hope to stay as connected as possible with the individuals and communities we work with.
- “Give someone a fish, they eat for a day. Teach someone to fish, they eat for a lifetime.”
