Solar Lamp Project

We introduce solar-based solutions and knowledge to rural Kenya allowing low income families to harness the sun’s energy, reduce the dependence on fossil fuel and learn and adapt sustainable lighting alternatives.

Light a child’s night!

A single power lamp cost approximately $10 and each night the light generates 3-4 hours of healthy reading light. For a child in a disadvantaged home, these hours of study translate into improved performance through school and better final results, which translate into favourable placement in secondary education.

I thank the teacher and the professor because of introducing the solar lamps.  this is because the solar lamp has helped me a lot I can now do my homework very well. When I went with it home my parents were very happy as well. They were no longer to buy paraffin they only bought paraffin for the kitchen. We are able to save money. I can now do my studies well initially sometimes there would be no paraffin and I could fail do my work. I am taking care of it very well and aim at higher marks 350 and above.

Good morning, I hope that you have woken up well and your family is well too. I just witnessed a Science lesson on electricity and magnetism in the Solar room taught by Mr. Kariuki the Headteacher. Both the teacher and the pupils were very excited. As long as they live, it is unlikely that they will forget the things that they learnt today. Thank you for the Solar Power Project.

The solar-water heating system was finally installed and operational. Pupils delighted in demonstrating the various parts of the solar project to their parents. There was great interest in the 200 liter flat-panel hot water system. It was intentionally installed in the school quadrangle so that children and visitors could touch and feel it and get a practical experience of the sun's energy. The hot water is highly valued and is used daily for washing, saving the school a great deal of firewood.
