Solar Aid’s Winter campaign ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ includes an opportunity this week
to triple the value of donations made. Gifts made from Thursday to Saturday this
week will be matched twice: a gift of £30 will therefore be worth £90 to the charity.

The matched giving is possible through a combination of [The Big Give’s Christmas Challenge](http://new.thebiggive.org.uk/project/christmaschallenge)
and the UK government’s UK aid programme. Donations to Solar Aid from 5-7 December
via the Challenge will be doubled. In addition, the UK government will double donations
to SolarAid from UK donors throughout the winter.

[SolarAid ](http://solar-aid.org/find-out-how-to-triple-your-donation/)is suggesting
donations of £30. Tripled, that would purchase 18 solar lights, which will be used
to replace the traditional but dangerous kerosene lamps used in many homes.
