Activities
The Mwezi Foundation provides access to solar lighting to those living without access to mains electricity. In particular we donate solar lights to schools who provide them to their pupils to allow them to study outside of school hours, thereby improving educational opportunities.
Objects: The charity's objects ('Objects') are specifically restricted to the following:(1) To relieve poverty through donating or otherwise facilitating the provision of solar energy to those in need in Kenya or anywhere else in the world that the trustees decide.(2) To advance the education of the public in matters relating to solar energy, climate change and the protection of the environment and to carry out and disseminate the results of research into all aspects of energy generation, distribution, supply and use.(3) To advance education by making grants for the payment of educational fees and the associated costs of attending educational establishments.
