Community leaders with a track record of delivering improvements in their communities, manage the solar lighting projects on the ground

In the UK Phillida Purvis leads the activities of Solar Links Initiative, identifying and establishing relationships with those local leaders and CBOs, and working with them to ensure effective implementation.

Together with a board of trustees, chaired by Ian Hutchinson, and other volunteers contributing on an ad hoc basis, Phillida raises the funding, ensuring that all donations are used for the capital costs of purchasing and installing the solar lighting equipment, on a revolving basis, and establishing long term sustainability.  All donations to Solar Links Initiative can be made tax efficiently.
