Solar Lights for Peace

Solar Lights for Peace is a campaign to provide safe, clean light for emergency situations and to expand access to quality education. 

CBC teams up with the charity Million Solar Stars and Namene Solar to find backing to fund and deliver Namene Solar’s award-winning solar lights to provide emergency lighting for people who have experienced natural disasters or war, to improve opportunities for education, and to replace harmfully, polluting kerosene lamps for families living in energy poverty. 

Together we provide individuals, organisations, and corporations the opportunity to take immediate, scalable action to support simultaneously: stability, social justice, education, and clean energy through one, or a combination of our Solar Lights for Peace Emergency or Educational Kits.

“At Solar Lights for Peace, we believe in tackling social injustice as a root cause    of poverty and rising emissions. As a collaboration between CBC, Namene, Million Solar Stars, and Dii Desert Energy, we provide renewable, safe, and clean light to families without access to electricity due to extreme poverty or displacement.     By replacing harmful kerosene lamps, candles, and single-use battery torches, we not only improve health and financial security but also contribute to the protection of the environment. 

For me, being a part of this movement means placing the most vulnerable people's well-being at the heart of my work and using my skills to accelerate the transition to sustainability and prosperity for everyone.”
