Thanks to the wonderful generosity of our friends and supporters, we raised £5,000.01 during the @BigGive #ChristmasChallenge! This means that we've SMASHED our original target of £4,000 by 25%!

Thank you so much for your support - your kindness will make a real difference.

Success is the reward of hard work - but even the most dedicated students can't do their homework in darkness. Access to a Mwezi #solarlight can transform a child's performance at school, enabling them to achieve their full potential, and lighting up their life.
