Did you know that less than 2% of all humanitarian funding goes directly to local NGOs?

So where does your money go?

• 61% of all funds will go directly to lighting up the homes of Shaharudin and his three neighboring families.
• The remaining 39% is used for project organization and logistics.
• We have done this project 21 times before. Trust me, your money will be well spent.

Together with more than 40 volunteers we'll drive deep into the jungle and the install solar powered lights for Shaharudin and his neighbors. You can be one those volunteers, just pick the right perk.

With your donation they will receive

Street lights & portable lanterns for 5 houses

The story of Shaharudin's family

Shaharudin works outside the village to support his family, who relies on him for supplies. The children in this family are too young to work, and the family barely has enough money to send them to school.

Imagine having to light up your home with candles and sometimes even bonfires. You can’t go outside because the risk of running into dangerous, wild animals is real. And studying at night is nearly impossible. 

This is how Shaharudin's family and his neigbors in Kampung Teras live their daily lives. No electricity. Ever.

Having light at night is a matter of life or death to them. It makes going out at night safe, helps the kids to study, and brings the people closer together. Join us in our mission to give them light at night, so they won’t have to sit in darkness during Christmas, or ever again.

#givelight to Shaharudin's family

Liter of Light Malaysia is raising funds to light up the home of every family in Kampung Teras. So pick on of the special crafted perks and #givelight to Shaharudin's family and his neigbors, so they can spend Christmas like you and I do. Don't they deserve that? 

Here's a map of Kampung Teras

In the map you can see a detailed map of the houses in Kampung Teras and the lights we'll be installing to light them up. Help make it happen!

We have done this project 21 times before. We know what we're doing. 

The only risk is:

• If we don't hit our funding goal, we will have to light up Shaharudin's home next year, when we find another sponsor. 

What happens to any excess funding?

• Any excess funding for this campaign will contribute to the next family in this build. If all the families are funded and there is still excess funding, then those funds will be allocated to another build in which we'lll light up another village with solar powered lights.
