Make real, sustainable change happen

At the flick of a switch

An instant win for people and planet

When the sun goes down the working day ends for millions of people across sub-Saharan Africa. The only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into people’s lungs and into the earth’s atmosphere. Yet with the power of solar and the flick of a switch you can change the story. Every time someone switches on a solar powered light, it’s an instant win for people and the planet. Real, sustainable change can happen. And it can happen overnight.
