Regional Finalist Ideas for Action (I4A)

Congratulations to our team. Light My World participated and came out as a Regional finalist in the 2018 Ideas for
Action Competition. With over 2,100 proposals from 124 countries, Ideas for Action 2018 is positioned to achieve an unprecedented impact on local innovators working to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals around the world and Light My World was privileged to partake in such a project.

Ideas for Action, a joint program of the World Bank and the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at the Wharton School, is a youth competition centered around financing sustainable development. Every year, students and young professionals from around the world participate to design ideas for financing and implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. Winners of the competition present their ideas during the IMF & World Bank Annual Meetings, receive support from a dedicated startup accelerator at the Wharton School, and benefit from unique networking opportunities with other young leaders as well as some of the most senior decision-makers in international development, academia, and the private sector.

The team of Light My World is happy to receive such an endorsement of the project proposal presented which aimed at reducing light poverty among countries in the Sub Saharan Africa region. We are more than fired up to see our project through. Check the link below and see other groups making an impact in various countries.
