Solar Reading Lights for Kids

Godparents for Tanzania-G4TZ- is a non-profit that provides scholarships to over 120 students in the Kilimanjaro and Karatu regions of Tanzania. Most students are in secondary school (high school), college and university. G4TZ also supports projects that help educate young people, including a rural primary school and a new technical school. Recently, G4TZ distributed solar powered reading lights to a group of students studying for the national exam. Students who fail this exam see their education end at 7th grade. Most students live in homes without electricity. The lights allow students to study at night.
