Transcript of 60 Additional Students InTanzania will Get Access to Energy This Spring!
We are floored with Dlight! Not only have the 30 lanterns been delivered and distributed to the Tanzanian students in Arusha, but funds raised from our successful “Solar for Students” campaign have enabled our impact to reach 120 additional youth!!!
Much props to our extraordinary solar partner D.light Solar, who gave us a great deal on the AMAZING s2 solar lantern series! Also, a HUGE thanks to our other key partner, Mom2Mom Africa, for helping close the gap with much needed educational supplies to these youth. Last but not least, is our utmost gratitude for all the collaborative efforts in making this happen – THANK YOU to our supporters, donors, and partners!
A conduit for change one student at a time…

We have officially been able to secure our partnership with Cheti, a non-profit focused on providing orphans with access to one of Tanzania’s top schools, the Jue school.
Since education is not free in Tanzania, Cheti is one of a few key organizations working within the school to provide education to some of the regions poorest children and orphans. Other students who attend this school system come from more privileged families. Jue students have a proven high advancement rate, with a high percentage of students progressing to secondary schools.
Global Forces’ partnership with Cheti aims to provide 60 vulnerable students that are enrolled within the Jue school, with solar lanterns to help students

maximize their studies at home.
Global Forces’ Founding Partner, Rob Chekwaze will coordinate with Cheti to coordinate delivery logistics since the school is located 16KM outside of Arusha (doesn't sound far but trust me on dirt roads it is!). The G-Force looks forward to sharing more information and updates as the partnership develops.
