Donate your birthday to help us End the Darkness.
590 million people in Africa alone have no access to electricity. Without electricity, families have no clean source of light, leaving millions to rely on dangerous alternatives like candles.
With your support, they could have solar light instead.
For every £15 donated to SolarAid, we can reach another family with solar light. If you turned each candle that you blow out into a solar light, this could make a huge difference to many people. Just one light saves a family £126 they would otherwise spend on dangerous and toxic sources of light.
