What We Work By

Four rules decide who does the work and where the money goes. They hold in all 9 countries, and they keep 91p in every pound on programmes.

See the Work

Led From Nearby

The technician who fits a system lives twenty minutes away, and is still nearby in five years.

Repair Is the Point

A fitting takes a morning. The nine-month apprenticeship exists for the fault two years later.

91p in Every Pound

That is the share of your giving that reaches programmes, and the books stay open.

$47 Lights a Home

A $40 lantern changes an evening. A trained technician keeps it working.
