Building a world that works for all
Electricity shines a light on inequality and allows all people to act on their rights

people face issues accessing justice tools and services (World Justice Project)
Law & Justice
Scarce electricity perpetuates cycles of injustice. Fighting back against injustice—whether it’s abuse from an employer, a landlord, or a spouse—is challenging without access to the internet, digital communication, and other tools.
SELF works with nonprofit partner, BarefootLaw, to electrify legal aid centers in under-electrified communities.
Democracy & Governance
Change happens at the local level. By electrifying municipal resources—such as town halls, courts, and community development offices—we can help local governments better serve their people.
Peace & Security
In communities that lack electricity, data show an increase in robbery, assault, and other crimes after nightfall. SELF implements solar streetlighting programs to create well-lit, safer spaces for all.
“I want to thank the people who gave us the light. It is of great importance. It provides security at night.”
