Wisekids Trust, (https://wisekidstrust.org) a nongovernmental organization in Zimbabwe that helps vulnerable children to excel in life, distributed over 1.200 solar lights with the support of Wakawaka Foundation. This partnership which began in 2021 with 40 lights and has since grown, focuses on providing safe, and reliable lighting solutions to learners living at the base of the pyramid. The support ensures that solar solutions become available to those who suffer from extreme poverty, live in off-grid areas, or experience load shedding and aims to improve the future perspective of learners in Zimbabwe.
The learners from over 15 primary schools expressed joy and promised to use the lights to study hard, complete their homework and excel in their exams. Wisekids Trust is excited to play a part in ensuring that learners excel in their studies. The special thing about the wakawaka lights is that it is much more than just sharing the sun and improving school performance, it brings an awareness, an “aha” moment, a reminder that life is full of possibilities.
