Keeping the Lights On
Turning the lights on is monumental, but it’s also just the beginning. For many rural communities, getting access to electricity doesn’t always mean knowing how to use it to generate income or being able to afford the equipment needed to start a business. To keep the lights on, we must help these communities go beyond that first step and help them see that they can achieve so much more than just turning on that light switch. Please make a donation so we can continue to keep the lights on for these communities. bring power to communities everywhere.
It Starts With Power
We belong to a community that understands that without reliable power, children won’t have brighter futures, parents cannot ensure good education or health care for their children, and communities cannot grow. We believe that it starts with power – better health care, improved education, economic growth and safer streets, all begin with reliable and affordable electricity.
Join us and get a closer look at what we do and how your contribution is helping bring access to electricity around the world. Be a part of a growing community that is helping create brighter futures today and for generations to come. Your donations will help our team fund activities that contribute to electrification projects, and strengthen efforts to make sure the lights stay on for generations.
What your donation will do:
- Expand our volunteer program. Volunteers build distribution systems and provide staff training to newly established electric co-ops or power utilities in all aspects of management and operations.
- Provide assistance after natural disasters. Your support allows us to send damage assessment teams to help with power restoration efforts after natural disasters.
- Connect “last mile” populations to the power grid. Donations help us connect people in communities who live close to power lines, but have no means to get connected.
- Support productive uses of electricity programs which teaches communities how to use electricity to generate income, and create business loans for local member-consumers for equipment, tools or appliances.
Your individual donations contribute greatly to this and for that we are grateful.
