Challenge
One billion people live without access to grid power. We wanted to put reliable power and light directly into people's hands, in a product simple and affordable enough to reach them.
What we did
We designed Buffalito, a compact handheld power bank that charges your phone, works as a torch, and becomes a lamp. Even the packaging was designed to work: the box folds into a lampshade, so nothing goes to waste and the product is useful from the moment it's opened.



Outcome
We launched Buffalito on Kickstarter with the campaign "Get Power, Give Power", to help bring power to the people living without access to the grid. The campaign was funded at 246% of its goal, raising £24,617 from 625 backers in 31 days.
