We have discovered that in many villages people, especially women, do not have light at night. This lack of lighting has brought, and continues to bring, a lot of problems and accidents in many houses especially in the more rural villages.
In 2024, we hope to order 10,000 solar lights and lamps which we will distribute, free of charge, to the poorest people and for a very low purchase price for those able to pay.
A solar lamp costs USD$6 in many shops in Uvira but, to help families to get them, we will sell them at USD$3.
Our objective is to have lights in every house in Uvira Territory especially in villages where they can’t afford to buy the more expensive lights.
