For many people across sub-Saharan Africa, the working day ends when the sun goes down. But, there is a simple solution that creates instant impact – solar power. Every community should have access to clean, safe, solar-powered light and electricity. Let's spread the gift of light this Christmas.

Today, 600 million people across sub-Saharan Africa still live without electricity. When the sun sets, the working day ends for millions of people. For millions of others, the only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into their lungs and into the earth’s atmosphere. But with the flick of a switch, we can change that story. Solar lights allow families to earn, children to learn and the planet to breathe a bit easier.
We know that every time someone switches on a solar-powered light, it’s an instant win for people and the planet. Working alongside rural communities, entrepreneurs and development partners, we are developing creative and innovative solutions to ensure that every home, school and clinic has access to clean, safe solar power. Together we can reach communities no one else is reaching, and turn the hopes and ambitions of many into reality. This Christmas, join us in spreading the gift of light.
