Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

LED’s mission is to provide low-tech solutions to 3 basic needs: affordable and sustainable solar lighting, basic education and essential healthcare. Led by the inspiring Val Pitkethly, we focus on the remote communities of Nepal and Peru.

LED was founded in the late 1990s by mountain guide and climber Val, who over many years has established strong and trusted relationships with communities in the highland villages of the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash ranges in northern Peru and the mountainous Manaslu and SoluKhumbu regions of northern Nepal.

Val is amazingly energetic, focused, compassionate and resourceful – the driving force behind LED.
