What one solar light changes

A solar lighting kit is a small device with an outsized effect on a household living without electricity.

Education after dark

Students can study, complete homework and prepare for exams after sunset. Families consistently tell us that grades improve once a child no longer studies by kerosene flame.

Health and safety

Kerosene lamps fill homes with toxic smoke and cause burns and house fires. Solar light removes that danger entirely — clean, cool and safe around children.

Income and savings

Families stop buying kerosene and candles every week, redirecting that money to food and school costs. Parents can also extend income-earning work into the evening.

Stories from the field

Reported back to us by the communities and schools we work with. Names withheld for privacy.

"My daughter used to stop her books when the sun set. Now she studies every night, and this year she passed her exams with distinction." — Mother of a scholarship student, rural Sri Lanka
"The lamp means I can mend nets and prepare goods after dark. The money we saved on kerosene paid for my son's school uniform." — Father of three, fishing community
"Teachers notice which homes received the lights. Those children come to school with their homework done." — School principal, distribution area

How we stay accountable

Donors deserve to know exactly where their money goes.

  • Distribution records are kept for every consignment of lights, supplies and scholarships sent to Sri Lanka.
  • Local verification — trusted community contacts confirm delivery to each household and report back to our committee.
  • Annual public reporting — our financial statements and activity reports are lodged with the ACNC every year and published on the Charity Register.
  • Volunteer-run — no paid fundraising or head office; donations fund goods and delivery, not administration.
  • Twelve-year track record — continuous registered operation since October 2014.
