John and Leah have traveled to Rwanda several times and have fallen in love with Rwanda's endless hills and the warm smiles of its people.  The energy and optimism of the country is an inspiring counterpoint to its tragic past.  Inspired by their experiences, John and Leah founded Shine On Rwanda as an initiative of Let There Be Light International, a US based non-profit addressing energy poverty in sub-saharan Africa.

On the ground, Shine On Rwanda works with Think About Education Rwanda, a local NGO that identifies communities in need, distributes the lights, and tracks the impact. Together, they’re lighting the way toward better health, education, and opportunity—one household at a time.
