Our blog: Little Stories

Journey with us

Our iconic little yellow lamp has some incredible stories to tell – from riding camels in the Sahara to climbing summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, to joining the classrooms of homeless children in India, to getting sweaty with the crowd at some of the world’s biggest summer music festivals. And now with Little Sun Charge jumping aboard, we’re looking forward to sharing even more Little Sun tales with you here.

Since the launch of Little Sun in 2012, inspiring people to take climate action has been an important part of our mission. In recent years, especially since the Paris Agreement in 2016, climate change awareness and encouraging communities worldwide to take action has become an essential part of Little Sun’s work.
