Solar Electric Light Fund
The Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) is a global leader in the fight against energy poverty, pioneering unique applications for solar energy since 1990. They develop and deploy solar solutions to combat poverty and climate change, providing access to electricity for nearly 1 billion people who live without it. SELF's projects focus on various areas such as food security, healthcare, education, and gender equity, utilizing solar power to improve lives and create more robust local economies. Through initiatives like the Solar Market Garden and solar-powered water pumping stations, SELF enables year-round food production, clean water delivery, and reduces the risk of waterborne illnesses. They also address social issues, such as mitigating incidents of sexual violence against women and girls in Sub-Saharan Africa who must leave their villages in search of water and firewood. With a mission to bring solar to those who need it most, SELF's work is driven by the belief that energy is a human right and that access to electricity can save lives, feed families, improve education, and increase income.Generated from the website
