Little Sun is a brand that aims to provide universal access to clean energy. Founded in 2012 by artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen, Little Sun offers affordable clean energy solutions and seeks to inspire people to take climate action. The brand's flagship product is the Little Sun lamp, a portable solar light designed to address the needs of people living without electricity.

The lamp is not only a practical tool for studying and improving the well-being of individuals and families in areas without electricity but also represents a renewable energy future. Little Sun's work expands beyond the distribution of solar lamps, as they collaborate with communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to explore and implement solar power solutions in various sectors such as agriculture, education, health, and humanitarian aid. By providing solar energy for water pumping, crop processing, cold storage, and more, Little Sun contributes to increased agricultural productivity for smallholder farmers.

Additionally, the brand brings solar lights to children in Africa to improve their learning experience and ensures that health workers have access to solar phone chargers and basic solar health systems. As part of their humanitarian work, Little Sun works with aid agencies to distribute solar devices to displaced people and host communities in different parts of the world. Little Sun's approach is built on strong local partnerships and a belief in the importance of clean, distributed energy to empower individuals, families, and communities.

They are committed to using their voice to advance climate justice and encourage citizen engagement in renewable energy, with various public campaigns and creative initiatives. Little Sun operates primarily in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Senegal, Rwanda, and Zambia, and has made a significant impact by providing 870,000 personal solar devices, enabling millions of study hours, and reducing CO₂ emissions. Partnering with local organizations and having offices in Berlin and New York, Little Sun continues to work towards creating a thriving world powered by the sun
