BUPA Great Winter Run 2012 · 7 January 2012 ·

Light for Malawi offers a chance in life for children in Malawi. Through the use of renewable energy we provide electricity in homes that have previously relied on paraffin for light, with health problems for children doing schoolwork. We provide solar powered batteries with the money you give.
