"Receiving the Lytefire Solar oven has improved our lives. We are glad to testify the beauty in using solar energy because it’s cheap, user friendly and we no longer spend money on electricity or charcoal."

"Throughout the process, Lytefire proved itself as an innovative, resourceful, and thoughtful partner in Uganda. They offer an impressive product, and back it with in-depth knowledge and supportive staff. The Lytefire units have a triple impact of fighting climate change, enhancing food security, and supporting rural entrepreneurship. This technology has great potential to help the world. I am pleased to recommend Lytefire."

"Such a great example of sustainable innovation supporting local entrepreneurship, livelihoods, and school meals. Thank you for the inspiring initiative and for the important collaboration, Lytefire!"

"Joining the Lytefire project was a special moment and the best decision we have ever made because in most countries in Africa, especially in Uganda, we are educated to look for jobs as job seekers not as job creators but this bakery group with the Lytefire solar oven and training has given us an opportunity to create jobs."

"By harnessing solar energy, bakeries using the Lytefire solar oven eliminate the costs of electricity and coal. This enables them to produce goods more cost-effectively and gradually increase sales volumes, despite the limited purchasing power in rural areas. As a result, poverty can be tackled more effectively."

"Plan International Uganda has been very satisfied with Lytefire’s pedagogy, methodology, organization skills and the solar concentrator Lytefire (solar oven) is very well adapted to Uganda’s context for small entrepreneurs. The Lytefire is empowering people and is a good solution for climate change mitigation among vulnerable populations."

"The second prize awarded to the solar bakery recognizes a project requiring very little capital, using updated techniques for baking bread through concentrated solar power. It meets the requirements of sustainability and accessibility, is highly replicable across all regions, and is a reliable way to stabilize and retain local populations, as the bakery serves as a hub of social activity."

"I chose the DIY Lytefire because it’s an incredibly accessible tool for those who want to live differently. I had no welding experience before building my Lytefire. I would also add that the design is incredibly simple. By that I mean it’s quite magical to see how it works so simply and so effectively on a daily basis."

"The Lytefire is the best for baking as it is environment friendly. For our group and myself during this training I have acquired advanced baking skills, good hygiene practices and entrepreneurial skills during the training. Using the Lytefire we will provide our community with good quality solar snacks or bites that are smoke free."

"The ability to leapfrog from one technology to the other, much like the explosion of mobile phone technology across the continent of South-Saharan Africa, we need a similar intervention from an energy perspective. That’s the main thing that made me excited about GoSol (Lytefire) and one of the reasons why we support your organization."

"Solar artisanats will soon be recognized as an instrument of the world of the future. And not only in France"

"This product holds the solution to a group of global issues that we need to tackle now!"
