Every time someone switches on a solar-powered light, it’s an instant win for people and the planet.

Kesilina switches on her solar home system for the first time.
Sunshine is in abundance in Africa. But when the sun goes down the working day ends for millions of people. For millions of others the
the only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into their lungs and into the earth’s atmosphere.
Yet with the power of solar and the flick of a switch, we can change the story.
When you help get one of our portable solar lights into the hands of a farmer, a child or a midwife, it means they can work, study and deliver babies long into the night. All it takes is a simple light, that can be charged during the day and provide hours of light at night.
With every light you’re helping reach communities no one else is reaching. And together we’re working on getting solar power to every home, school and clinic in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.
