Light after Daylight

What is the issue?

In many refugee camps, the lack of access to electricity plunges homes into darkness after daylight hours. This absence of light poses significant challenges and hardships for families. After sunset, homes become unsafe environments where basic tasks such as cooking, studying, and moving around become difficult and hazardous. Children are particularly affected as they are unable to study effectively, hindering their educational progress and future opportunities. Moreover, the darkness increases the risk of accidents and crime, further jeopardizing the safety and well-being of our refugee families.

 

What the Initiative Proposes:

​

The Light After Daylight Program addresses these challenges by providing solar lights to homes in refugee communities. These solar lights not only illuminate homes but also bring safety, security, and comfort to families. By extending daylight hours, the program enables children to study after sunset, improving their educational outcomes. Additionally, it enhances the overall quality of life by allowing families to perform essential tasks safely and efficiently during evening hours. The program's impact goes beyond illumination; it empowers refugee communities, fostering a sense of security and well-being amidst challenging circumstances.
