2 Amazing Benefits of Our Solar Lights

By Sylvester Renner | Project Leader

Dear friends,

In Africa, at night, many communities resort to the use of naked lamps and kerosene lanterns to light up their houses. 

While candle-light dinners can be romantic, this is different. These lights are a health hazard and outright dangerous.

To address this we are providing energy-efficient solar lights. 

These lights offer 2 lighting benefits:

  1. They light up the entire room. They are also useful if someone needs to step outside to an outside kitchen or shower room. 

  2. They provide light for reading - giving students more time to get school work done. This time / educational benefit is huge.

In the included photo, you can see a smiling Salamatu reading her school book - thanks to a D-Light solar light.

As you can see, the solar lights that you help to provide are so very useful. They are helping kids progress in the path to the fulfillment of their dreams.

The faces of kids light up (pun intended) when they receive these lamps.

It's a joy to know that in this season we are spreading light and joy!

Join us: Your recurring donation of $40 each month will place one high-quality solar light in the hand of a child in Africa - each and every month.  Thanks so much for giving the gift of light and joy.

We deeply appreciate YOU!
