Bogo light

I just bought another BOGO light, they are on sale. They are the best flashlights. My friend has even dropped his from a roof and it still works. These are worth it, even if you're not interested in helping Africans.

BoGo means Buy one, Give one. We want our lights to benefit the less fortunate; therefore, with each light purchased in the developed world, a second identical light will be donated to an organization that will distribute it in the developing world with our direct financial support. Give the Gift of Light, and Help Us Change the World!

Travelling BoGo Light

I was quite surprised to find a new package from BoGo - the Buy One, Give One solar flashlight that is lighting up Africa and changing people's lives. So in my package was a travelling bogo light, so that people can try it and pass it on. My light is 0306, number 64017, and I have passed it on to someone and we'll see how far it goes. The tracker software isn't yet up on the bogo sight. But what a fun idea.

Update on Bogo Light

Got my Bogo light. It works just great. I had some issues recharging (see photo), but the novelty quickly wore off and the cats left it alone.

My dad was quite impressed with the new light and the whole idea, and got me to order two for him.

My dad pointed out that you can really see how dark Africa is when you look at the satellite pictures of the world.

Bogo helps light the world.

Light an African Life

Bought a really cool Solar power flashlight today and a flashlight will be sent to Africa (via the UN).

How is this you ask? I bought a BoGo Light.

The BoGo Light

The BoGo Light is a scientific, eco-friendly breakthrough that is making an impact worldwide. From Cairo to Cape Town, from the Caribbean to the Amazon, it is improving the lives of individuals, families, and entire villages by replacing costly kerosene, candles, and disposable battery flashlights with an affordable, long lasting, solar flashlight.

Why does light matter?

Two billion people living in the developing world rely on kerosene lanterns, candles, and single-use battery flashlights for light at night. Not only are these options expensive, dangerous, and harmful to the environment, they also negatively impact health, education, and security.
