Life-Changing 2025.

At SolarAid, we believe that everyone deserves access to clean, safe solar power, no matter where they live. 

For millions of people across sub-Saharan Africa, the working day ends when the sun sets.  But, we know there is a simple solution – solar lights. At the flick of a switch, solar lights allow families to earn, children to learn and the planet to breathe a bit easier. 

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.

How we work

We do charity differently. We work alongside the most remote communities to create sustainable and scalable programmes centred around building local enterprise which in turn creates resilience to the climate crisis.

Where we work

Alongside direct action on the ground, we engage with partners, governments and development actors to advocate for change.
