Solar Village Foundation

Safe light opens more time to learn.

We distribute durable solar lights to off-grid communities so children can study after dark and families can move away from hazardous kerosene lamps.

Why light matters

When daylight ends, opportunity should not.

Many homes still depend on kerosene lamps for evening light. A durable solar light can help make study time safer, homes brighter, and phone charging more reliable.

Children can study

Reliable evening light supports learning after school.

Families stay safer

Solar power helps reduce reliance on smoky, fire-prone kerosene lamps.

Communities build resilience

Clean energy makes more hours in each day usable.
