A Different Christmas Gift

The Christmas gift that lights someone's life!

Donate a solar lamp to a family in Liberia and receive a CARD certificate for helping lighting Africa!

Problem:

1.3 billion people lack electricity and proper lights for studying and other activities after sunset

Solution:

Solar lamps provide a safe and sustainable alternative to kerosene lamps and candles

Gift articles:

Solar lights and mobile chargers for work, home and travels

Benefits compared to traditional lamps:

  • Provides ‘free light’ for up to 8 years;
  • Saves money on kerosene, candles and batteries; and some saves money on charging phones;
  • Flexible and robust in use;
  • Safe, as there is no risk of fire;
  • No toxic fumes.

The solar lights and mobile chargers are already in Liberia, ready to be distributed.

They have been brought to Liberia by our partner NIDECO AS (www.nideco.no) and its partner Liberian Gateway Inc. Ltd. (www.liberiangateway.com), and they will be distributed by our sister organisation CARD Liberia (www.cardliberia.org).

Donor reactions:

- Anne (93), Norway: "I am so happy to contribute to this cause. In addition, I am unable to go out to find gifts to my loved ones anyway, so this was a perfect Christmas gift."

A recipient reaction in Liberia last year

 

Fatu, Monrovia

Fatu lives in one of the dangerous slums in Monrovia and has no access to power. She is unemployed and took in 11 kids that lost their parents to Ebola in her one bedroom zink shack.

She and kids were filled with joy upon receiving two lamps as she felt they could make a difference in their lives. The kids will now be able do their home work at night. They also help to keep away thieves at night. In tears she thanked the donors for their kindness and poured blessings on them as her Christmas was now lit up.

Fato and some of the 11 kids she takes care of after Ebola.
