Hi, we are BrightPath Innovations. Growing up in a community where power cuts and long walks to school were a daily reality, I’ve seen firsthand how access—rather than ability—limits so many bright young minds.
That’s why we created the Solar-Powered Smart Backpack—a simple, durable school bag with a solar panel, USB charging, LED light, and safety features. It’s designed for students in remote areas who need to study after dark, stay connected, and walk long distances safely.
We’re a passionate grassroots team of educators, engineers, and social changemakers. Together, we believe that every child deserves the tools to learn, regardless of where they live.
Our Vision:
To empower 10,000 rural students in Africa with clean energy and connectivity—starting with Zambia, then scaling across the continent.
How We'll Use the Funds:
Prototyping & manufacturing of the first 1,000 backpacks
Distribution & partnerships with rural schools
Training local youth to support and maintain the devices
Monitoring impact through community-based feedback loops.
This isn’t just a backpack. It’s power. It’s light. It’s opportunity.
Join us in lighting the path forward.
