We're
raising money for Solar Aid!
Solar
Aid is a UK charity working to tackle poverty and climate change
by bringing clean, renewable energy to rural Africa. We were really
impressed by their practical and long term approach, and we think you
will be too.
Solar
Aid bring renewable energy to those most in need. By offering
subsidised, affordable solar technology alongside ongoing training
and support, communities are able to invest in reliable, durable
and financially sustainable renewable systems.
Promising
local entrepreneurs are also offered additional training in business
management and the practical knowledge needed to run a small scale
solar enterprise. As well as offering services like solar phone
chargers and lighting, these new businesses provide jobs and wealth
for the community.
Solar
Aid manage this very efficiently. For every pound received only 8
pence goes on admin and running costs, the rest goes straight to the
projects. Thanks to innovations in solar technology a school can now
be lit for as little as £1,000!
So it only takes a little to make a big difference.
You
can find out more information on our Just Giving page or Solar Aid's website.
If
you're impressed by Solar Aid too, and have a few coins jangling around,
please help us to reach our target. Every penny goes
straight to the charity and every £10
you donate will abolish all your earthly sins.
Thanks!
