No one should be left in the dark once the sun goes down. That's the philosophy behind Watts of Love, a nonprofit dedicated to providing solar-powered lighting solutions for some of the poorest regions in the developing world.

The result? Solar technology that has helped children study longer, parents start businesses, and families cut down on out-of-pocket fuel expenses.
