After the earthquake that hit Haiti on January 10th, LDWB’s branch in Belgium, led by Isabelle Corten, got in touch with several groups created to help the country. Lighting Designers Without Borders could take part in the projects presented by two Belgian NGOs: Fokal (promoting knowledge) and Quartiers pour Haiti (construction specialists).

Between 2008 and 2010, Lighting Designers Without Borders has led its first mission. This mission was launched at the request of Énergie du Mali (EDM), electrity supplier of the country. It consisted in setting up a training and consulting program for EDM’s technicians and engineers from Bamako and Timbuktu.

As a member of LUCI association, LDWB takes part in a project led by the city of Glasgow (UK) for Amathole district (East London, South Africa) as part of the Light Links contest organized by LUCI and Thorn Lighting, specialist of industrial lighting systems. This contest allows one city from a wealthy country to volunteer and provide help to a disadvantaged city and realize an urban lighting project.
