About this listen

 In this inspiring episode of Talks with Gallagher, Nancy Economou—founder of Watts of Love—shares her journey from luxury jewelry sales to pioneering global social impact. After witnessing families in the Philippines endure darkness and poverty due to kerosene lamps, Nancy channeled her passion into creating solar-powered lights that transform lives. Discover how a simple solar device is breaking cycles of poverty, enabling education, sparking entrepreneurship, and even deterring wild animals with its innovative emergency strobe feature. Hear powerful stories of resilience: from a mother who turned a solar light into a thriving bamboo business, to communities reinvesting $155 annually per household into education and healthcare. Learn how Watts of Love pairs cutting-edge solar technology with financial literacy programs, teaching families to save, invest, and dream bigger. Nancy also unveils their vision to "light nations," scale manufacturing in Africa, and partner with local leaders to drive sustainable change. Whether you’re a social entrepreneur, a traveler seeking purpose, or someone eager to combat global poverty, this episode offers actionable insights. Plus, find out how to join life-changing trips to Malawi, Kenya, and beyond, and see firsthand how light restores dignity and hope.
