Description
In The Gambia only a limited part of the country is provided with light. This is astonishing how dark an evening and night can be when there no light not even from a distance. The evening start early in The Gambia: at 7pm the dusk sets in, at 7:30pm is it dark. No light for the families also means nothing to do: the children cannot do their homework and the parents are not able to do any do any of their chores like cleaning or preparing the rice for the next day.
By now the foundation has provided several families with solar panels. The package which we provided consists of a solar panel set with 2 LED lights (with 8 hours capacity) and several plugs to allow charging of for example mobile devices.
Having the solar panel for the families literally makes a ‘day and night’ difference for them. No longer is it a race against the clock to be able to finish chores and homework before the evening dusk sets in. The toddlers of the family can be more easily watched, simply because the chores can now also be done at night when the children can already be put to sleep.
Do you wish to help a family improve their live and provide better future to their children? For €45,- we can provide a family with a complete package to give them light in the dark.
