SolarAid is an international charity founded in 2006 to combat poverty and climate change. Through  social enterprise, Sunny Money they provide access to solar lights in Malawi and Zambia to help catalyse solar markets with renewable light. 590 million people in Africa alone have no access to electricity. Without electricity families have no clean source of light, leaving millions to rely on expensive and dangerous alternatives. Solar lights are safe, clean and affordable. It is a small, but smart innovation that gives off hours of light in the evening so families can earn, learn and feel safe after dark. Just one lamp can transform the future for an entire family and is the first step out of poverty.
