During her races, she encountered school children whose smiles and bright eyes would light up as they watched her running along the dusty dirt roads. Heather would often strike up conversations with them and learned that many of these children had to walk hours to get to school each day. Heather felt a deep desire to make a difference in their lives.

We have witnessed the impact of what just one solar power light can have on a childs life. Imagine the joy on the students faces as they continue studying for their exams after sunset, thanks to solar reading lights.
Situated in a remote mountain village at the base of Africas highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, sitting at 19,341 ft., the Makomu and Uomboni Secondary Schools received these much needed "Luke lights", from Santa Barbara based company, Unite to Light, In August of 2022.
With your help our efforts will continue to illuminate students lives and their path to higher education.

"I appreciate your idea to support my school as Mr Lyimo told me. This will be very helpful to the female students who are sleeping here at the school especially during night at their preparation rooms and the dormetory when the grid power is out of supply.
You are welcome for more details or discussions or any clarification about the school."
Best regards.

Sure indeed as a headmaster i witness the improvement of academic achievements in many students who were not doing well before getting the solar lights.
Again, thank you very much for this support to my students and School in general."
