Solar can be a game changer for rural schools

Off-grid solar systems are booming across Africa — and for good reason. They’re reliable in sunny climates, safe (no kerosene fires or diesel fumes), and provide free energy once installed. Solar theft is real, so our systems are portable so they can be locked up safely inside schools at night.

We’ve already installed solar at Zandiela (2019) and Tionso (2025). The impact has been immediate and profound. It makes it possible to use the school for evening tutoring sessions, community meetings, and adult literacy classes. Schools have even been used as shelters during emergencies, like the flooding that hit Mali in 2024..

Now we’re ready to bring this transformation to more schools. Each $600 system includes solar panels, a large battery, fixtures, bulbs, wiring, and converters. In short, everything a village needs to turn darkness into opportunity.

This Giving Tuesday, be part of Africa’s solar revolution. Donate $600 to power education and community.
