Our mission is to eradicate the kerosene lamp from Africa and ensure nobody is left in the dark. 43,500 people will be reached with solar lights through this project. We reach families with solar lights in rural communities where no one else will go - tackling poverty and climate change.

Situation

600 million people in Africa are still living without access to electricity. They have no choice but to rely on expensive alternatives like candles, torches and, worst of all, kerosene lamps to escape the dark. These filthy devices are imperilling health, impairing education, wasting household income and emitting astonishingly high amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Yet the solution already exists.

Solution

When a family switches from kerosene to a solar light, everything changes: - One household reached with solar light - £145 saved by not buying kerosene - 1,006 extra hours study time - 1.1 tonnes of CO₂ emissions averted - Half the household experiencing better health We sell solar lights through our social enterprise, SunnyMoney, using a sustainable trade-not-aid approach. With your help we reach the most remote areas, empowering everyone to choose solar and break out of poverty.
