ORIGINS
While teaching mathematics at the secondary school in the village of Magulilwa, Tanzania in 2008, the locals asked Bryan Keeler to help raise money to build a kindergarten. Bryan returned to the U.S. and began the 501c3 organization 8 to a Lamp. The name comes from Bryan personally witnessing eight children studying in Tanzania, all crowded around one kerosene lamp. Bryan’s mom, Susan Keeler, deserves the credit for the name.
