In Just the last year or so, the Shine On Rwanda Initiative of LTBLI has donated almost 800 lights, positively impacting over 4,000 lives!

The Mucko Sector of the Gicumbi District in Northern Rwanda is a land of beautiful rolling hills dotted with agricultural plots, small homesteads, and remote villages. Shine on Rwanda…

We are excited to share that “Shine on Rwanda,” with our Kigali based partner “Think About Education Rwanda” (NPO-TER) and “Let There Be Light International” (LTBLI), has completed our second solar light distribution to six villages in the Gicumbi District of northern Rwanda. Three hundred solar lamps were distributed to the most needy families and individuals, including elderly and disabled people as well as children and young mothers. We know that these solar lamps will positively impact their daily lives and well-being.

During our visits to Hope Haven, we witnessed how challenging it is for students to study in the evenings without electricity, so we consequently initiated a solar lamp distribution project for the students and their families.

Fortunately, we identified the good work of Let There Be Light International, (LTBLI), and partnered with them to expand their model of providing solar lamps to vulnerable families and individuals in Africa, including Rwanda. Shine On Rwanda was born!
