Maurits Groen and Camille van Gestel founded the company in 2012. It develops and sells portable solar products for the more than a billion people living without access to electricity and the billions seeking renewable energy solutions. For every WakaWaka purchased, a solar light is donated to a family living without access to electricity. In the United States, donated solar lights are given exclusively to the International Rescue Committee. In other countries, donations are given to the Red Cross, Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity and others.
