Health Improvements

Solar lights replace dirty and polluting kerosene and candles, reducing exposure to indoor air pollution and improving respiratory and eye health.

Increased Safety

“Now I feel safer and better able to take care of my baby at night. The solar light helps me feel less afraid of fire.”

-Saraphina, 27

– Fatuma, 33
