ENTREPRENEURSHIP

We empower entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone, Ghana and Togo. The companies that they build sell solar lighting to the public. Rather than being forced to use dangerous kerosene to light their homes, these communities have a safer, more cost-efficient energy source. Families who invest in solar lights discover that their purchases pay for themselves in a matter of months.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

You can invest in these entrepreneurs with your donations for business startups in Sierra Leone, Ghana and Togo to spread safe, efficient and cost-effective solar lights.

• Fund an entrepreneur – Your gift of $100 will provide an entrepreneur in a developing country with the ability to start his or her own business.

EDUCATION PROGRAM

We have worked with schools in developing countries like Sierra Leone where we educate students about fire safety. They bring their knowledge back to their families, making their communities safer.

The children can use solar lamps to study and perform other tasks, improving their learning while eliminating a burn risk.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

• Sponsor a light – Your gift of $12 provides a high-quality light to a  child like Sorie.
• Sponsor a school – Your gift of $500 will give a classroom the gift of clean, safe solar lighting. Students who study in brighter light have better educational outcomes and protect their vision.

Your purchase helps put lights in the hands of students.
