A solar light has an instant impact for a family in Africa. That’s because it helps children learn, families earn and everyone feel safe after dark. Every time a solar light is switched on, it’s an instant win for both people and the planet. Let’s make light work.

Situation
Sunshine is in abundance in Africa, but when the sun goes down, the working day ends for millions of people. Their only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into their lungs and into the earth’s atmosphere. But when you help get a solar light into the hands of someone in Africa it changes the story in an instant. With every light, you’re helping entire communities make the leap to a greener future.
Solution
When you help get one of our portable solar lights into the hands of a farmer, it means they can sort through their soya beans even after the sun sets. For a child, it means they can get ahead in school because they can actually do their homework in the evening. And for a midwife, it means she can deliver babies safely through the night. You’re helping reach communities no one else is reaching. And together, we’re helping to turn the hopes and ambitions of many into reality.
