This organization was started by my cousin Jess' friend Kathryn Cunningham Hall.
Kathryn has worked incredibly hard to promote this cause. She has worked both in the states and in Africa to spread awareness, collect funding and promote change.
Their philosophy is
"We believe that grassroots efforts that stay connected to their projects for the long term are the most effective. We keep our operating budget small to maximize the impact of your donation. We believe in solar power and equity in medicine – and we volunteer our time to make the biggest impact that we can."
Kathryn was in the running for a contest sponsored by the kid's choice awards called " Dosomething.org "
Here is her video about Powerupgambia.org

There are many ways to help Kathryn's organization. You can be a solitary donor or get many people, schools, businesses or organizations involved.
