This locally sourced solar lamp will benefit the entire family and is essential for homes that do not have electricity. Even in the day, homes can be very dark as windows cost money and therefore tend to be small holes with shutters in traditional houses. Sunset is around 7pm all year round in east and central Africa, so by the time the children have walked home, helped with chores or done some work to raise a little income, it is often dark before the children have a chance to do their homework.
