We are proud to announce that this month’s charity partner is Elephant Energy, and show you the adorable new “elephant themed” belt we’ve added to our charity belt collection on their behalf! EE is a non-profit organization that brings small-scale renewable energy resources to rural Namibians, the majority of whom have no access to power or electricity.
In the agrarian villages of Namibia, many families rely solely on their farms. Farmers in that area often face fierce predators in the night, such as elephants which can stampede a field of crops, threatening a farmer’s livelihood, or lions which pose great physical danger to the farmers themselves. A farmer’s protection from wild animals, a woman’s safety walking safely at night, and a student’s ability to study past sunset all require light (at a minimum). Prior to Elephant Energy’s initiatives to bring solar powered light to rural regions of Namibia, paraffin candles were used at great cost, both environmentally and financially, to the villagers. But with new technologies and renewable energy, that is changing.
EE is a Denver-based NGO that was started by Doug Vilsack, an incredibly impressive lawyer, environmentalist, and humanitarian activist who I am proud to also call my friend. Check out this Fox News report about EE’s solar light project, and consider donating the gift of light to a woman or family:
Remember, if you buy an Elephant Energy belt this month, 100% of the proceeds will go to this non-profit. Additionally, 10% SkinnyKidz overall proceeds for the month of June will be donated to Elephant Energy. SkinnyKidz contributions will be earmarked for a solar light project benefiting women and children, specifically.
