In Africa 82% of the rural population don't have access to electricity. By April 2014 our social enterprise SunnyMoney had sold over one million solar lights to families across Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Senegal. 90% of SunnyMoney solar light customers live below the poverty line and collectively, the impact of one million solar lights is huge.
