BE BRILLIANT Stories: Uganda

June 25, 2018/ Tamara Banks

Our BE BRILLIANT initiative is a hit in Uganda!

Farmers like Hannington (above) and Thomas (below) are beginning to use solar lights - generously donated by YOU - to illuminate the darkness of night. The light which some take for granted is an economic leg up to people who ordinarily would have to stop working past sunset. Now, with increased capacity, these Ugandans are able grow and earn more.

If you, your business or your community organization would like to support the independent sustainability of genocide survivors and other villagers in Rwanda, Sudan and Uganda, please read more about the Be Brilliant initiative and DONATE!
