Solar Lighting
Without access to electricity, families often turn to dangerous lighting sources, such as kerosene. Kerosene harms the respiratory system, carries risk of explosion, and is the leading cause of childhood poisonings.
By equipping homes with solar power, families can light their homes safely.
Solar Cooking
Traditional cooking fuels, such as wood and charcoal, cause 3.7 million premature deaths annually.
Solar cooking appliances, such solar stoves and ovens, provide a safe, reliable alternative for putting food on the table.
Electrifying Homes on the Border
SELF partnered with The Sempra Foundation to electrify low-income homes on the US-Mexico border, where the average household pays more than 10% of their annual income to the power bill. The solar energy systems reduce this financial burden while fighting climate change.
