Dear our partners, GlobalGiving, Donors, Supporters, and ALL interested parties
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
This month we are reporting our exciting development. We already sold out ALL solar lanterns you purchased for us with your first $5,000 donation. As we promised, we were able to sell the solar lanterns to kids at discount price.....below the market price. The money we collected has now become a seed capital/revolving fund. The lanterns were sold out through local entrepreneurs such as those at the attached picture who are the students of the University of Arusha. We are so proud of their enthusiasm which is now becoming a MODEL for other students to follow. With the seed capital we collected, we are now able to provide interest-free loans for solar lanterns business to those local entrepreneurs.
Your future support will help us increase our seed capital and be able to provide more and bigger loans to our hard-working local entrepreneurs WHILE at the same time PROVIDING DESPERATELY NEEDED SOLAR LANTERNS TO OUR KIDS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RELENTLESS SUPPORT!
ASANTENI SANA!
