We are working on a number of specific projects at the moment. One of our priorities is to distribute LED lights to students so they can read and study when it gets dark.


more information from Nokera

We are currently testing lights like the Nokero N100 and N200 above

(In Malawi, many schools and most homes do not have electricity. It is dark around 6:30pm and often flashlights or kerosene lamps are used. These ways of lighting are not a good option for reading and studying)

We encourage you to purchase a specific number of lights. We will ensure that the number of lights have purchased reach the specific students at the schools we are working with (please see below).

We are also exploring the viability of lights for students at their schools.

At Mkondezi Model School

Mkondezi Village
Nkhata Bay

Mary Nyirenda, the headteacher of Mkondezi Model School told me last year that her biggest need for her students were lights.

I am more than happy to announce that 10 months later, I was back at Mkondezi Model School with 2 cases of LED/solar lights from Nokero.

The first thing that we did, was to brainstorm and then create some light stands. We did this by collecting branches in the forest near by (enjoying the monkeys at the same time) and putting them into bases, from newly made bricks nearby.

Here is Isaac finishing up the stands
