Low-income families in Uganda spend ($9) per month on their very basic requirements – kerosene, batteries and mobile phone charging. Such kerosene lamps produce significant soot, CO2 and noxious fumes; while thousands of people are burned (many of whom are children) and houses burn down when lamps catch fire. Also, low quality dry cell batteries for radios and torches chemically pollute the environment when they are thrown away. ToughStuff is a social enterprise which provides very affordable solar-powered products for low income people, replacing expensive and environmentally damaging alternatives (kerosene lamps and batteries). This results in a reduction of poverty, a significant reduction in CO2, removes the environmental damage of discarded batteries, enhances health and increases micro enterprise employment. ToughStuff is one of a new breed of businesses whose aims have a social and environmental return as well as financial.
