Beginning with United Nations’ “World Water Day” on March 22, the Lee Brenneisen Foundation designed 3 team building contests for our schools. Over 3,000 students participated, with all receiving certificates of participation and winning teams taking home solar study lamps.

In partnership with the Ministry of Education, the Lee Brenneisen Foundation identified children from 71 primary and secondary schools who had no electricity in their homes, and provided them with 4,000 solar study lamps.
