I love finding a new product that was born here in Scotland
and not only makes my life so much easier but actually in turn does something
for a much greater cause.
Wee Pal is an chic new portable charger for your devices
which comes with a side of amazing from the team at Poweralife.com. Started by
two Glasgow University students who were studying Sustainable Development in
Africa, they realised a buy one,give one model could bring real change in the
areas they had visited and that’s when the Wee Pal Charger was born! For every
Wee Pal purchased they then give a solar
light to a school child in Africa which is a such a beautiful idea.
So why Solar lights? They learned on a trip out there, that a big issue the kids
were facing was the ability to do homework at night which impacted their education. The giving of a solar lamp means they can safely keep up with their studies and enjoy more time with
their families too. 'Using Power to Empower' is the perfect slogan for these guys as they are now changing so many lives and it
will only continue to grow. The teachers in the partnered schools they have
worked with so far have been so impressed with the change it is making to their students and are excited about the increase in academic attainment thanks to the lights you
provide with each purchase. The ability to study at night will improve the
opportunities in life and provide such a good start and help the kids
work towards a brighter future- how amazing is that.
As part of a social enterprise myself, I could not be a
bigger fan of what these guys have created. I think a Wee Pal charger would
make such a wonderful, ethical Christmas present to give this year, everyone I
know has phone battery issues and could make so much use one of these. The fact
it is so much cooler looking as my past portable charger is pretty amazing too!
The creative team clearly have so many ideas, I have spotted a wooden
charging bank over on their social media that I am definitely getting Ally, he
is going to absolutely adore it. I am so excited to see what else they roll out
and updates on all the amazing work they are achieving in Africa. A wonder product if ever
I saw one!
