4 out of 5 families
That equates to 35 million people in Kenya
Education
Children cannot study at night due to a lack of light for reading.
Finance & banking
Communities rely on mobile phone banking and need power to charge phones to do business.
Property maintenance
Lights ward off animals that trample properties in the night; without lighting, properties risk damage.
For light, most families
use paraffin lamps
But these are a toxic, expensive solution.
Costly
Paraffin costs up to 25% of a household's weekly income.
Toxic
Air pollution caused by lamps has the same effect as smoking 40 cigarettes per day.
Unsustainable
Cost and environmental impact makes lamps unsustainable.
Instead, solar LED kits provide light, power and better living environments for years to come.
For every $2000 purchase, we will donate a solar LED kit that provides a family with light and power for years to come.
