Lighting Up Lives

Project-Nova is dedicated to enabling lighting infrastructure innovation for homes, schools, and orphanages in Africa, that currently do not have these resources available. 

 In 2020, Project-Nova was able to distribute solar lights to thousands of people in various villages outside of Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”).  Project-Nova continues to expand this mission to deliver solar lighting to villages that lack infrastructure for electricity, enabling nighttime education, increased security, and a more comfortable home for impoverished families.  

 Project-Nova was founded by business entrepreneurs Jon Clark and Todd Newman in partnership with 2-time NBA Champion Didier (“DJ”) Mbenga.  These men began their work with Project-Nova in 2019, and have been elated  to see their vision come to life.  “The kids look at these lights like it’s magic!” mentioned Mbenga, when asked about the impact solar lighting is having on the community.
