Making a World of Difference

It's been an amazing fifteen months for our inspirational Volunteer turned SolarAid employee Miguel Ramirez. Way back in September 2008 Miguel won the World of Difference award from the Vodafone Foundation, allowing him to spend a year working with SolarAid full time.

Miguel has been a very busy man, fulfilling our mission to provide solar technology to the remotest areas of Southern and Eastern Africa. Throughout his time Miguel has provided first hand and inspirational accounts of the good work SolarAid is accomplishing via his blog:

"Just a few weeks ago I signed a contract with a headmaster of a primary school to receive solar panels from SolarAid. I don't think I have ever seen a happier man!"

SolarAid's mission is to provide a million lights to Southern and Eastern Africa by 2015. Our brilliant team of volunteers and campaigners, with their passion and drive will give us every chance of meeting or even surpassing this number.

We thank all our team for their hard work, inspiration and enthusiasm. Please help us reach our targets and support us.
