Energy poverty causes suffering, illiteracy, sickness, rape and even death. Its victims are some of our world's poorest people, particularly women & girls. Steve Huff calls on us to do better and fight this silent predator in the dark.

Steve is a start-up specialist with over a dozen start-ups to his credit, in addition to being the Chairman of The Light Foundation, a non-profit organisation created to combat energy poverty through the implementation of sustainable energy and off grid lighting solutions in order to improve the health, education and economic situation of all people whom live their lives without electricity.
