The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2026

The next appeal will be in December 2026

 

Sign up for SolarAid Big Give reminders

  
The Big Give is the UK’s biggest match-funding campaign – and every year, SolarAid takes part to bring clean, safe solar light to families living without electricity.

For the duration of the appeal, all donations made through the Big Give platform will be doubled at no extra cost to you. That means twice the solar lights, twice the families reached, and twice the impact.

If you would like to donate directly to SolarAid, in a currency not supported by Big Give, or create a regular gift – you can do so by clicking on this link.

Why this appeal matters

By giving in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, your gift goes further. Every pound is matched, helping us reach more people with life-changing solar light.

Why SolarAid?

Millions still live without electricity, relying on costly, dangerous kerosene lamps. SolarAid brings safe, affordable solar light to families most often left behind.

Why give through the Big Give?

Every pound you give is doubled for free, turning your support into twice the solar lights, twice the families reached, and twice the impact.

"At SolarAid, we know a solar light won’t solve everything, but it is a simple and practical first step. We know that solar power improves livelihoods and builds resilience within vulnerable communities. This is why we are working with partners not just in Malawi and Zambia, but also now in Senegal and Madagascar. "
John Keane, SolarAid CEO
