In 2023, SELF developed new technologies and programs that expand our global understanding of energy. It’s not just the lights overhead; it’s health, safety, opportunity, and prosperity.
A new microgrid connects rural people to legal aid. A solar cooking program creates income opportunities for women. A home electrification initiative helps families near the poverty line.
Across these projects and more, SELF works to deliver crucial energy to those who need it most in a way that protects the planet for future generations. Thanks to the support of our donors and partners, 2023 shined a new light on just how powerful the sun can be.
SELF is a global leader in the fight against energy poverty. Since 1990, we’ve pioneered unique applications for solar energy, powering progress on food security, health care, education, gender equity, and more.
