For each $15 donated to or fundraised for Kukula Solar, one more solar light is directly added to a home. It is not only the cost of the light itself, as we distribute solar lights to the most needy households in rural parts of Zambia and Malawi. This also takes into account all our costs related to getting stock of solar lights in the most rural areas .
It further includes building awareness, so more people can support us – and we can reach even more families with clean light, along with researching the impact of our work and sharing our learnings with other organizations.
Your donation pays for reaching people, trying new ideas, training local entrepreneurs, and everything that is needed to get solar lights into the hands of those that will benefit the most, in a way that is sustainable and will spread.
And as we know the impact of solar light, we can also estimate what impact your donation will have and we use historical data to monitor and help make adjustments.
In its simplest form, we know the impact of one solar light on a family’s life is as follows:
Every member of the household uses it.
5 people reached with clean, safe light.
1 more child studying after dark.
$126 saved each year as families no longer have to buy candles, kerosene, or batteries.
4 people feel safe at home.
Thank you for your continued donation to our work!
