The Elfenworks Foundation and One Million Lights wish former President Jimmy Carter a Happy 85th Birthday!

President Jimmy Carter and Lauren Speeth of The Elfenworks Foundation

The Elfenworks Foundation and One Million Lights wish former President Jimmy Carter a ‘Happy 85th Birthday’ with the donation of 85 solar lights that will each change the life of a child and bring a ripple of hope to that child’s family in Kenya. These solar lights will be distributed to children in Kenya who live without electrification and depend on candles and toxic kerosene lamps for light. These children will enjoy the clean and healthy light of rechargeable solar lights to study at night.

On Dec. 10, 2002, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2002 to Mr. Carter “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.”

We are inspired by the work done by the team at The Carter Center!
