In remote areas of Kenya, where access to electricity is scarce, the introduction of solar lamps is catalyzing a remarkable transformation in education. These solar-powered devices are not only illuminating classrooms but also brightening the futures of students and communities alike.

Improved Academic Performance: Teachers have reported a significant enhancement in students' academic performance and work completion at home, thanks to access to reliable lighting. With the ability to study after dusk, students can dedicate more time to their studies, resulting in increased productivity and comprehension. This enhanced efficiency has empowered teachers to issue more homework, thereby reinforcing classroom learning and advancing the pupils' academic growth.

Impact on National Exam Scores: The impact of solar lamps is evident in the notable improvement in the National Exam scores of class eight candidates. In 2019, several schools witnessed a remarkable increase of more than 10 points compared to previous years' results. For instance, Songa Primary School exemplifies the transformative power of solar lighting, with a modest improvement of 1.26 points in 2019. This improvement underscores the direct correlation between access to solar lamps and academic success.

Community Transformation: Beyond the classroom, the positive effects of solar lighting extend to the entire community. By fostering a culture of learning and empowerment, solar lamps are paving the way for a brighter future for all. As more students excel academically, the ripple effects are felt throughout the community, driving socioeconomic progress and prosperity.

Continued Commitment to Education: As we celebrate the success stories emerging from these remote communities, our commitment to expanding access to solar lighting remains unwavering. We aim to amplify our message and reach even more communities in need. Together, we can continue to brighten futures and empower the next generation through education.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
