15 study lights for Malaika's school in Kalebuka
Fifteen Flash Forward study lights support Malaika's education work in Kalebuka, near Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, adding an estimated 90 learning hours each day.
Malaika was founded in 2007 in Kalebuka, near Lubumbashi. Its free school for girls opened in 2011 and reports 430 girls enrolled with 99.3% retention. A community center serves the wider village.
The lights are now part of that education work. Malaika's local knowledge guides them toward students who can use the added hours after sunset.
