Light Libraries are designed to help rural communities make the shift from burning toxic, dangerous and CO2 emitting, kerosene and candles to safe, clean, solar light and power, literally over night. They represent a first step towards a safer world, enabling people to light and access power in their homes and schools, using solar energy.

We partner with public schools to enhance the quality of education through tailored digital tools for both teachers and students. Digital learning tools foster deeper student engagement, strengthen literacy and numeracy skills, and empower teachers with high-quality professional development resources.
Learn MoreWe work with communities and schools to provide clean alternatives to firewood and charcoal for cooking school meals. By reducing dependence on biomass, our programme contributes to cutting down harmful emissions, preventing forest degradation, and preserving biodiversity in a country where 75% of the forest has already been lost.

Being a franchisee is more than a livelihood; it’s my contribution to the development of my community.

Cooking used to be much harder, students had to bring firewood from home every day […] the solar cooking stove completely changed our lives […] The work became so much easier, and we're using much less firewood than before.

I’ve always been interested in solar energy but couldn’t afford my own solar panel. Now I rent the solar lamp and it’s cheaper than the kerosene I used to buy.
The tablets help me read faster. It has pictures and sounds and I can replay them as many times as I want to help me remember new words.
Before the tablets, my desk was always covered in scattered documents and books for lesson prep, and I often felt overwhelmed trying to manage everything. Now, my work is much easier—everything I need is already in there: lessons, guides, worksheets, and more.
I used to have a hard time finding suitable materials I could share with my students in class, but now, I can simply download a video to the tablet, connect it to a projector, and show it to the class. My students love it too.
Solar United Madagascar is a unique partnership of grass-roots NGOs and solar technology experts combining over 100 years of experience and community connections to support a Madagascar where communities thrive and live sustainably – protected from the devastating impacts of climate change.
