Who is SolarAid?
Nearly 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa live without access to electricity. SolarAid provides a simple, sustainable solution: solar lights that replace toxic fuels like kerosene and candles, helping families stay safe, enabling children to study after dark, and empowering communities to thrive.
Their work is focused in Malawi in Zambia, across three pillars of impact:
On average, just 1 solar light reaches 5 people with clean, safe light, resulting in 1 more child studying after dark, £159 in annual savings for families and 4 people feeling safer at home as families are no longer relying on expensive, dangerous candles or kerosene.
Imagine how many lives we can improve by working together!
