In rural communities in Africa where many homes do not have electricity, solar powered lamps improve the daily lives of children and adults by providing clean and healthy lighting. This is accomplished by replacing dangerous, expensive, and polluting kerosene lamps with lamps powered by the sun. These solar lights enable children to study at night and adults to extend their workday, all the while eliminating carbon emissions, improving household health, and increasing a family’s standard of living.

As part of your customized safari your tour operator can arrange for you to make a stop at a local school, where you can personally donate the lamps. You can decide how many lamps you will like to donate and the cost will simply be added to the final payment of your safari. The lamps will be in your van as you leave on safari, ready for you to deliver. It’s that simple! You will be amazed how adding as little as 1% or 2% to the cost of your safari can make such a profound difference in the lives of children, and at the same time adding another great experience to your safari.

African Safaris and Charitable Giving (Safari Samaritan) is a "for profit" company. All the money we make is from the sale of travel insurance. We make no income on the sale of solar powered lamps, nor do we receive any fees from the manufacturer or distributer of the lamps.

Because we are "for profit", none of the items we suggest you donate while on safari should be considered a tax deductible item, including the solar powered lamps. However, because we are "for Profit”, and make all our money from travel insurance, you can be sure that 100% of the money you donate for solar powered lamps goes to the purchase of the lamps.
