APsystems continues to illuminate lives with Extend the Day

In a steadfast commitment to making a difference in the lives of schoolchildren in disadvantaged regions, APsystems proudly supports Extend the Day and its remarkable “Lights for Learning” program. Extend the Day, a non-profit charity organization, is dedicated to providing solar reading lights to students in underprivileged regions lacking access to electricity.

“APsystems is proud to partner with Extend the Day to bring light to these children’s lives,” said Dr. Zhi-min Ling, APsystems’ co-founder and chairman. “Our support empowers Extend the Day to expand their reach and build upon their already successful projects on multiple continents.”

In a recent update, Extend the Day is making significant strides in their mission. Thousands of solar-powered lights were shipped last month to Bangladesh, with thousands more set to illuminate South Africa this month, following a recent dispatch of lights to Kenya. An ongoing collaboration between APsystems and Extend the Day, the Lights for Learning program demonstrates how education can be a critical key to success for children in disadvantaged communities, offering them the opportunity to excel academically, complete their homework after dark, and stay in school.
