Fry’s Electronics Expansive Reach Increases WAKAWAKA POWER’S Availability

An early innovator, all 35  of Fry’s stores now carry the WakaWaka Power, the pocket-sized, highly efficient solar smartphone charger that powers-up smartphones in under 2 hours and provides hours of bright light for camping, emergencies, or while on the road. Through this partnership, the WakaWaka Power will be introduced to Fry’s extensive electronics consumer market, acting as a springboard to familiarize the American public with this amazing, patented and award winning technology.

“The early reviews on the WakaWaka Power have confirmed our expectations that the consumer is really going to like the sleek design, ease of use and the ability to charge their smartphone in less than 2 hours, anywhere,” stated Eric Clare, GM Off Grid Solutions U.S.

The partnership will also advance WakaWaka Foundation’s initiatives to end energy poverty to increase safety for girls and women at night, help students complete their homework after dark, free of kerosene burns, and much more. For every WakaWaka Power charger sold through Fry’s Electronics, a $10 donation [CPF2] is sent to the WakaWaka Foundation to finance entrepreneurial education, micro-loans to women energy entrepreneurs, and subsidies for the very poor in countries like in Nigeria, Haiti, Nepal, India and Latin America to replace polluting, dangerous and expensive kerosene lamps.
