SolarAid is an international charity founded in 2006 to combat poverty and climate change. Through our social enterprise, SunnyMoney, we provide access to solar lights in Malawi and Zambia to help catalyse solar markets with renewable light.
590 million people across sub-Saharan Africa live without electricity. When the sun goes down the working day ends for millions of people. For millions of others the only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into the earth’s atmosphere.
But with the flick of a switch, we can change that story. Every solar light in someone’s hand is an instant win for people and the planet.
Our work has directly impacted over 11 million people, yet more needs to be done. Many homes, schools and clinics are being left behind.
Together, we can reach the most rural communities and make sustainable change happen overnight.
