OUR MISSION
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.†John 1:5 ESV
The Lanterns for Light Foundation, Inc. was founded, initially, to provide an affordable and safe light source to students seeking to better themselves through education. Over time, we have seen the direct and powerful impact these lights have had on the community of Sega, Kenya. Each child who received a light, also received the hope of a better life through the enlightenment that comes with education. Poverty is an epidemic in Kenya but the education of youth, is, as Nelson Mandela put it,our greatest weapon’s against its continued spread.
What began as one family’s quest to follow Christan’s call to care for others, has grown into a foundation dedicated to removing obstacles separating Kenya’s youth from completing their education.
Donations to the Lanterns For Light Foundation will be used to purchase solar powered lanterns for students between 8-12th grade in rural Kenyan communities. Donations will also provide sanitary pads for impoverished female youth who would otherwise be forced to miss school during their menstruation period.
Its our belief at Lanterns for light that all good comes from above. For this reason we also work with local churches to provide resources so they can do what they do best – preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying,I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life.
John 8:12 ESV.
