About the Lamps

Who receives them?• Solar study lamps are provided to

students in Primary 6 who do not have electricity, so they can study at night

• Students receive the lamps during a critical year - before they take the national exams

• Students “pay” for the lamps through community service to the school & their community

Who receives them?

Partner SchoolsWhy?• Typically students have to study

by candlelight or kerosene lamps, which are very expensive and unsafe

• If students pass the national exams, they will have the opportunity to go on to secondary school - which will provide them, their family & community a brighter future!
