I hope you might be interested in this Montreal, Canada Companys effort to reduce the risk of Shack Fires and Promote Poverty Relief. DEMO Video youtube/watch?v=JQxHnofsku0 Kevins Kandles are not meant as competition or an alternative to electrical grid lighting or solar lighting. Our core values are fire safety and fire prevention. As such, Kevins Kandles are offered as an alternative to paraffin candles UNTIL the users are able to access a modern and safer form of lighting. We are looking at providing an interim solution to the incredible number of Shack Fires that continue to plague those in developing countries. SMALL STEPS TO PROMOTE POVERTY RELIEF AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Kevin’s Kandles is an innovative concept that provides alternative illumination. These candles have the potential to make a huge impact in Third World countries as they are much safer than traditional candles, inexpensive – half the cost, convenient and environmentally friendly. If a Kevins Kandle is left unattended - it will go out; if it is tipped over - it will go out! Kevins Kandles is a much cheaper alternative for the people that MUST continue to use candles for illumination. Kevins Kandles do not use petroleum based fuel and as such do not produce fumes that are bad for your health or the environment. Many organizations promote solar generated energy or installation of electric power grids throughout under developed and developing countries. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is, that these options are cost prohibitive and decades away. Application is only possible if supported by Relief Organizations on a donation basis. Power grids will never be feasible throughout rural communities. Lighting Africa indicates that there are 600 million people that do not have access to electricity and rely on candles and kerosene for lighting. Their projections hope to see 250 million people using solar lighting by 2030. What about the other 350M? What about providing a much safer, much cheaper candle NOW! Kevin’s Kandles promote economic development and sustainability NOW! Logistics for shipping, handling and storage are excellent. A master carton of Kevins Kandles measures 15 x 15 x 20, weighs 25 pounds and contains 500 packs of Kevins Kandles. Each pack has the potential to provide a family with 3+ months of safer candle illumination. A full 40 shipping container holds 648 master cartons - Thats 324,000 packs of Kevins Kandles! Most Accidental Candle Fires can be Prevented Prevent Shack Fires and Promote Poverty Relief I am a former UNMIL Fire Marshal that has a special place in my heart for my friends and Firefighters in Liberia. Kevins Kandles has been founded as a direct result of my assignment in 2007-2008. The weekly fire calls for accidental candle fires in Monrovia had a profound impact on me. I have spent my entire career providing fire protection and fire safety to the public. Upon my return to Canada I knew I had to do something more. Now Kevins Kandles are available - How do we encourage suppliers like Monoprix or Bridgeway to offer these candles to all Africans? They are Much Safer than paraffin candles, less than half the cost and environmentally friendly. If a Kevins Kandle is left unattended - it will go out; if it is tipped over - it will go out! In January 2012 another tragic accidental candle fire occurred in Monrovia, Liberia. 150 homes were destroyed and 2,500 people were left homeless. This tragedy could have been prevented with Kevin’s Kandles. It’s time for the UN and other Poverty Relief Groups to embrace these Much Safer candles.
