Filmed on Chole Island, Tanzania, SolarAid's latest film tells the story of Sele.
Sele has woken up in a new era... the solar era.
A very musical promo about SolarAid's big, audacious, almost impossible goal of replacing every kerosene lamp in Africa with an affordable, sustainable, safe alternative by the end of the decade.
The film shows a day in the life of an 11 year old boy named Sele who lives on a very remote island, on the day he gets a solar light. The lights are being distributed through the school network. The light Sele's parents bought so he could study at night will significantly change all their lives, leaving them with more money and fewer health problems.

Two of the biggest threats facing humanity today are climate change and global poverty. SolarAid helps to combat both by bringing clean, renewable power to the poorest people in the world.

Bob Kokonya is a farmer in Kenya. He earns a little over a dollar a day. There is no electricity in the area of rural Kenya where he lives, so most people resort to burning kerosene. Bob's family was spending the majority of his income lighting their house.
Bob's life was recently transformed by solar power. He bought a Sunny Money Ravi, a solar powered LED light (with mobile phone charging) created by the development charity SolarAid. Now Bob can invest his income in his farm, in other basic needs, or in more solar power.

In places like rural Africa, solar energy is a leapfrog technology. In the same way that Africa leapfrogged over landlines with mobile phones, they will leapfrog over electrical grids, for many of the same reasons.
In Kenya, SolarAid is using a franchise system to meet the huge demand for solar products. Solar Aid has been busy recruiting and training the people who will take solar power to their communities.
People like Ramonah Omukhobero.
SolarAid's franchisees are small business people who sell micro-solar products like the Ravi to individuals and families. The Ravi is a small solar panel and charging unit which will charge mobile phones and provide room lighting.
SolarAid also help institutions like schools and hospitals with larger solar installations. At any scale, SolarAid’s work is about economic partnerships, rather than simply distributing technology.
