In the rural villages of Northern Haiti, the arrival of night often means a retreat into darkness, curtailing activities essential for community growth and safety. Through your donation towards solar panel street lamps, you provide more than just light; you open a world of possibilities – from extended commerce and safer streets to enhanced study time and community bonding.
For a gift of $190, you can fund a solar panel street lamp, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly light source. These lamps aren’t just about visibility; they’re beacons of hope and progress. Plus, this year there’s a twist. Donate by Friday Nov. 24th to see us install the solar street light the very same day!

Impact of Solar Panel Street Lamps
Consider the story of Martine, a resident of a village near Second Mile Haiti’s Malnutrition Treatment Center. Last year, thanks to the generosity of donors like Laura, her village received the gift of solar-powered street lighting.
Prior to this, Martine, a local seamstress, had to end her workday with the setting sun, limiting her productivity. The installation of the street lamps has been transformative. Now, her sewing machine hums into the night under the new street lights, significantly increasing her income and providing better for her family.
Similarly, children in Martine’s village, who once struggled to read or write in the dim light of candles, now gather under the street lamps for evening study groups, paving their way to a brighter academic future.
The introduction of these street lamps has also enhanced the overall safety and social dynamics of the village. Well-lit streets mean safer pathways for everyone and have fostered a spirit of communal interaction and gatherings post-dusk.
Laura’s contribution has not only illuminated streets but has sparked a chain of positive changes in Martine’s village, affecting livelihoods, education, and community relations. Every additional solar street lamp brings similar transformative changes to more villages, expanding this circle of light and opportunity.
Your support can continue to spread this sustainable illumination throughout communities surrounding Second Mile Haiti. Together, let’s light up more lives, one solar panel street lamp at a time.
