Why solar power?

Thursday, February 8, 2018

You may have heard that we plan to install solar panels at Lewa Children’s Home in Eldoret, Kenya.

But you may be asking yourself, “why solar power?”

The answer is simple. We want to provide a brighter future for African children, and solar power does precisely that for the children of Lewa.

How does solar power help the children of Lewa? 

Energy costs are a big drain on resources that could otherwise be used to provide food, housing, and education to these children. By installing solar panels at the orphanage, energy costs are lowered and thus more resources can be allocated to provide for these critical needs.

Thank you for all of your support.
