with d.light. From the beginning, we've shared their goal
of bringing light to the poor. But more than that, we’ve
been impressed by the way that the d.light team has taken
the time to understand the needs of the poor in rural
India, and to then design world class lighting solutions
that meet those needs -- an approach that is perfectly
aligned with Acumen Fund's philosophy. We look forward to
working with d.light to reach millions across India . ”
