Fund solar lights for African families

Donate to SolarAid, which distributes solar lights across Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Uganda, cutting kerosene use and letting children study after dark. Kerosene lamps are a significant source of indoor air pollution and household fires in off-grid communities, so switching to solar also has a direct health and safety benefit.

Our take

A practical, everyday-impact pick: solar lights are simple and tangible to fund, and the knock-on effect — kids studying after dark instead of using kerosene — is easy to picture. Cutting kerosene use also reduces indoor air pollution and fire risk in the home, so the benefit goes beyond just study hours.
