IKEA helps improve lighting at refugee camps

IKEA believes in LEDs so much that it's the only type of bulb the Swedish retail behemoth will sell come 2016. And now through the end of March, the sale of the bulbs will help make the future of children in refugee camps a bit brighter. Claiming that the Brighter Lives for Refugees “will help bring lights and renewable energy into the streets and homes of refugees camps, so UNHCR can help build a better everyday life for refugee children and families,” IKEA Foundation CEO Per Heggenes goes on to add: “The absence of powered light limits everyday activities we take for granted, such as sharing a meal or doing your homework. It impacts safety and security and the ability for families to generate an income."
