Lighthouse/Impact

Our Impact

Good for businesses. Great for the planet.

SDG Alignment

Building toward four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Our work is rooted in measurable, climate-positive outcomes. Each Lighthouse facility maps directly to the SDGs that matter most to African food security.

02

Zero Hunger

Every ton kept fresh is a ton that reaches a table — protecting Nigeria's food supply at its most fragile point.

07

Affordable Clean Energy

100% solar, off-grid, off-diesel. Cooling powered by the sun, not the pump.

12

Responsible Consumption & Production

Cutting post-harvest losses keeps food out of landfills and capital in the hands of producers.

13

Climate Action

Each Lighthouse hub avoids tens of thousands of litres of diesel — kilotons of CO₂ never emitted.

Our Values

What we stand for, every shift.

Sustainability

We chose solar not just because it is cheaper to run, but because it is the right thing to do.

Reliability

On-site security, scheduled maintenance, and solar infrastructure that does not depend on the grid.

Affordability

Cold storage should not be a luxury. Our pricing protects everyday market traders, not just large businesses.

Community Impact

Every ton kept fresh is income protected — a family fed, a trader's livelihood secured.

A Lighthouse partner trader
Before Lighthouse, I was losing fish and money every other day. Now I store for a longer period and I'm not pressured to sell out of fear of wastage. My income has nearly doubled.
