International Relief & Development: Improving Lives. Building Livelihoods.

IRD works in collaboration with a wide range of organizations. These include U.S. and foreign government agencies, bilateral and international donor organizations, international finance organizations, faith-based organizations, advocacy groups, international and local NGOs, U.S. corporations and members of the U.S. Congress.

IRD also partners specifically with SunNight solar to provide long-lasting, solar-powered flashlights to people in developing countries. The BoGo Light’s solar-paneled handle recharges three AA batteries to provide 6-8 hours of illumination every night, and only needs to change batteries every two years using an efficient, eco-friendly technology; flashlights will be donated through IRD to people in Sudan and Chad each time one is purchased in the United States. The gift of light can be made by visiting the BoGo Program’s Web site at www.BoGoLight.com.
