Shining On – a Story of Solar in Africa
The Problem
Access to energy
571 million people in Africa live without access to electricity. When the sun goes down, businesses close, streets grow dark, and homes are lit with dirty, dangerous, and expensive kerosene lamps, which are responsible for childhood burns, respiratory infections, poisonings, and house fires. Let There Be Light International wants to change that.
The Solution
Safe solar light
More distributed solar means less dirty, dangerous, and expensive kerosene in off-grid homes and less pollution in our shared ecosystem. Renewable energy supports improved health, safety, and wellbeing, which enhances economic stability and reduces carbon emissions. Solar is a win-win as we work to combat Climate Change and Energy Poverty!
