Unite to Light is a Santa Barbara-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to “manufacture and distribute efficient, durable, low cost solar lamps and solar chargers to people without access to electricity." Our products are the lights people need to live and thrive. We focus on projects that help students study at night, equip midwives with the tools they need to save lives, offer help and hope to those suffering from natural disasters, and provide light and power to our neighbors experiencing homelessness so they are able to connect to vital services and information. 
Light by light we are changing the world.

We are a movement of empowered, resilient women building a vibrant and hopeful future in Northern Uganda. The region bears the brunt of Uganda’s refugee crisis, which UNICEF ranks among the fastest growing in the world. Uganda is host to the most refugees of any African nation,; most of Uganda’s 1.6 million refugees have settled in the rural north, many in the communities where AWR is based. The vast majority are women and children under the age of 18. Women play a critical role, spearheading efforts to uplift their families and communities through their engagement in agriculture, education, healthcare and community development projects. 
Our programs are designed to nurture their aspirations and amplify their impact.
