By purchasing SolarAid lights, our aim is to further assist AJMJTO and their mission to bring education and sustainable development to Ile Saint Marie.

AJMTO (l’Association des Jeunes Malgaches et des Jeunes de Toute Origine) is a non-for profit organization which aids the children of Ile Sainte Marie, an island off the coast of Madagascar, by building schools and raising the necessary funds to maintain them. Their work started when they realized that children living near the village of Ilampy were walking 7 km to get to the nearest school. This is why we run 7 km during our annual marathon- to remind us  of the 7 km walk the children endured. 

Only 15.2% of Madagascar's population has access to electricity. This forces many students to terminate their studies when sun sets, which causes them to lose numerous hours of homework time. We believe that by purchasing SolarAids for AJMJTO, the students will be given the opportunity to continue their education after the sun goes down.

With your contribution, together we will brighten the futures of the children of Ile Sainte Marie through a clean, sustainable energy source.
