What’s so great about a WakaWaka?

With regular power outages in Africa, this gadget can be very handy when travelling. It charges an iPhone within 2 hours and the flashlamp is just the greatest thing to travel with! You receive 1 free WakaWaka per booking (not per person).

Isn’t it time everyone shared the same basic human rights?

We see access to sustainable energy as a basic human right. Not a luxury. Not a nice-to-have. Not something for the future; something for now. A straight-up pre-condition for development. Because access to electrical light and power means access to education, to communication, to income-generating opportunities, to self-belief, to a better future.

The sun is the world’s greatest natural energy resource. It’s abundant, it’s sustainable, and it’s available everywhere. It’s the solution for everyone who needs power but doesn’t have access to electricity. So let’s use it.

What is WakaWaka Power+ powerbank / flash light?

Give away your WakaWaka at the end of your trip!
