2 BILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN DARKNESSThat’s 1 in 4 people who live
with little to no reliable energy. |
XTorch founder Gene Palusky experienced the issue first hand while helping children in Equatorial Guinea Africa. While there, his fiance became sick with malaria. In the darkness, the doctor was forced to use a temperamental dying flashlight to check her temperature. Gene and the doctor desperately traveled dark back roads searching nearby villages (also without power) for the medications needed to save Keidy’s life. Finally by the light of a single candle, they managed to insert an IV that saved her life.

This experience made the need for light in remote villages very personal for Gene and Keidy. Now their life passion is to get an XTorch into the hands of energy-poor children and advocate the humanitarian benefits of a solar-rechargeable light.
