Solar light social enterprise

Dear Friends,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to provide solar-powered light to families without electricity here. This project is off to a good start with us able to access volume of solar light from a nearby city. Our approach is social enterprise in that we engage small entrepreneurs so that they sell and distribute our products to local clients who either pay in cash installment or pay in kind such as paying with small animals like chickens and goats. The in-kind payment we also disperse to neighboring families for them to take care of and get the offspring. The choice solar light that our clients like is the one that comes with a radio where they can listen to much-needed news in the barrios.

Again thank you very much and hoping you inform your friends and colleagues about this wonderful initiative.

With much gratitude,

Cora Sayre
