The Pilot Light Foundation was formed to support small projects in Africa that have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for a relatively low budget, impacting people in non urban areas. The idea of the pilot light is that we will light a small spark that can grow into a larger fire, after we are gone. In other words, we are committed to empowering people to help themselves in the fight against extreme poverty, through cooperatives, micro finance, scholarships, and general groundwork for a healthy life. This is done in partnership with local organizations at the grassroots level. Pilot Light is proud that 100% of donations will be used directly for these projects and is a 501(C) (3).
