A Good Story and Cause – The Bright Books Story
At Bright Books, for every pair of journals purchased, we give one solar light to those in need. Our journals are high-quality, stylish and representative of the people we serve. You get 128 pages for notes and musings, while a child in the developing world gets the gift of light. We work with non-profits to distribute lights to children and families in schools and refugee camps in the most underserved areas of the world. Nearly 1.2 billion people lack access to basic electricity, making it difficult to study, work and travel safely after dark. With a clean, reliable source of energy, we can help brighten the future for children all over the world.

Our Story
Our story began in 2009 with a trip to Uganda. We quickly learned that some basic necessities, like electricity, are sparse and tenuous in rural areas making it tough to do normal tasks like homework and reading. Rough terrain and poor roads make installing power line nearly impossible in some areas. After encountering the severity of the problem, we learned about the movement to increase energy access to people in the developing world. Why can’t we just skip traditional power grids and develop renewable energy in its place? One answer is money. We brainstormed ideas on how to jump in the give-back retail movement to generate funds for energy access. We love journals and so do many of you—so Bright Books was born. We realize personal lights are not going to solve poverty or stop climate change, but it is a start and we have big plans from here.
