Power a Life has secured funding from the Clydesdale Bank and that funding is aimed at making a difference in powering off-grid Africa. The social start-up enterprise, based out of Glasgow, launched the ‘wee PAL’ (Power a Life) re-chargeable power bank, a portable charger for phones and gadgets.
Using a buy-one, give-one philosophy, for every charger bought the company gives a solar light free of charge to a child in an African school. The lights offer children without electricity the chance to study at night, helping them work towards a better education leading to more opportunities.
