The Partners
Partner organizations that already work with schools and communities receive the finished lights and know the students who will use them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the lights go?
Flash Forward has built 72 lights for three partners. 42 lights have shipped to Brighten Haiti in Haiti. 15 lights are allocated to Loksadhana in Maharashtra, India, and 15 lights to Malaika in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Have all 72 lights shipped?
No. Only the 42 lights for Brighten Haiti have shipped. The 30 lights for Loksadhana and Malaika are allocated to those partners and are not described as shipped.
Why do lights go through partners?
Partner organizations already work with schools and communities. They know the students and the households, which Flash Forward volunteers in Bellevue do not.
What does one light cost?
The parts for one light cost $5.17. Student volunteers build the lights without pay. Shipping is separate. By our estimate, a light is used about 6 hours a day. That figure is our own estimate, not a partner measurement.
