GreenLamp Receives the 2025 LIT Lighting Design Awards Spotlight Prize

We are pleased to announce that GreenLamp has been awarded the 2025 LIT Lighting Design Awards Spotlight Prize, recognising our impactful use of sustainable lighting solutions to strengthen maternal health care in rural Ethiopia.

Through our LIGHT Program, GreenLamp has installed over 325 solar systems in remote maternity wards, supporting more than 1.3 million births with reliable light and power. This work ensures safer deliveries, improved working conditions for midwives, and long-term benefits for entire communities.

As GreenLamp President Joanna Boyd stated:

“Reliable, sustainable energy is essential for women’s health. Every solar system we install helps ensure safe births, dignified working environments for midwives, and thriving communities.”

The Spotlight Prize will enable us to expand our reach by equipping two additional clinics currently without lighting with solar panels, LED lighting, medical refrigeration, fetal Dopplers, and full installation and training support.

We extend our sincere thanks to the LIT Design Awards for this recognition and for highlighting the importance of lighting solutions that save lives and empower women 💡
