Nearly 800 million people worldwide live without electricity. It’s a silent killer – the deadly fumes inhaled from the kerosene lamps used are equivalent to smoking 40 cigarettes a day.

The crisis is especially acute in Northern Uganda, where 99% of the population can’t access the national grid and more children die from respiratory illness than anything else.

An amazing organisation called Solar Links works with community-led groups to install solar lighting in rural households in Uganda – and they’re racing to get these lights in more than 500 homes before skyrocketing food costs drive them further into darkness.

They won’t start installing until they raise enough funds to light every home in a village so no one is left out – and together we can make it happen quickly, with no red tape.
