About a billion people most who live without electricity use Solutions like Kerosene lamps. Which is not only a fire risk but a health risk as well.

It is estimated that using a Kerosene could be the equivalent of smoking up to 40 cigarettes a day

An alternative?

The GravityLight a project recognised and supported by Shell Springboard. The system uses Gravity … and kinetic energy to provide power to a light. You take a few pounds of rocks, place them in this bag, and let gravity do the rest. A simple lift can provide 20 minutes of reliable light for everyone and the best part is the Gravity Light is designed to be incredibly affordable

[Animated sequence]

background to show how agravity light works and arrows animate to the kinetic energy and then show a light turning on, show a bag of rocks, a bag is lifted with a pulley style GravityLight, the scene zooms out to show the entire pulley scene cuts to a GravityLight lit in the dark above a child’s study book. We see a man look into the GravityLight, we see a small clips of people from a developing country smile while they uses the GravityLight and unlike Kersoene, its sustainable. It pays for itself within 2-3 months {scene of a gas station, to someone filling a bottle with kerosene}
