The document discusses the Syrian refugee crisis, which has resulted in over 2 million Syrians fleeing the country due to the civil war. It is currently the worst refugee crisis in over 20 years. Lebanon hosts the most refugees, with Syrian refugees soon making up 30% of Lebanon's population. The UN and other relief agencies are providing humanitarian aid, but they are becoming overwhelmed and underfunded. The document proposes a coalition to provide additional aid through sustainable technologies and a fundraising concert to support refugees' basic needs like shelter, food, medical care, and lighting.

humanitarian needs is
a matter not only of
generosity, but
enlightened self
interest.”
– Antonio Guterres –
Commissioner, UNHRC

10. The UN is there.
So are numerous other relief agencies.
Isn’t that enough?

11. “This is the type of crisis
that humanitarian
agencies at some point
cannot handle anymore.
It’s unmanageable, and
dangerous.”
Filippo
Grandi, Commissioner
General – UN Relief and
Works Agency

12. The costs are staggering

that includes….

16. • Refugee Mobile Emergency
Hospitals
• FTL renewable mobile power
systems
• PRECUSA – modules
containers to

17. And there is yet another need...one so
seemingly insignificant that many of us
take it entirely for granted...
...And that need is...

18. ...LIGHT!

19. Why
Light?
• Safety – reduces crime/accidental fuel-induced fires
• Connection –well-being within families/communities
• Productivity – does not stop at sundown
• Education – enables essential reading and learning
