About Our Programs
Energy poverty is one of the most pressing yet overlooked challenges global communities are facing.
Globally, 660+ million people live without access to electricity, and 2.1 billion still rely on polluting fuels for cooking. Without access to clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy, communities are unable to meet their most basic needs.
At SolarBuddy, we don’t just talk about impact — we deliver it.
By providing sustainable solar solutions, children are empowered to lift their educational opportunities through greater access and study time. Families experience better health and wellbeing, with less exposure to toxic smoke and fewer safety risks. Reliable energy reduces the time and money spent acquiring harmful sources of energy, while decreasing harmful impacts on the local environment.
Through our innovative products and community-led programs, we have already improved the lives of over 1.8 million people, and we have the experience and expertise to scale this impact even further. We understand the challenges of delivering clean energy in the world’s most remote and underserved regions, and we know what works. Together, with the support of our partners and community, we are not only proving clean energy to power homes, but building the pathways for a more equitable, sustainable tomorrow.
Our work ensures that:
- Children stay in school, complete their education, and secure better futures, leading to greater income opportunities that allow them to support their families and lift their communities out of poverty.
- Women generate income through clean energy micro-businesses, enabling them to afford food, healthcare, and education while fostering community resilience and financial independence.
- Families experience improved health and food security, reducing respiratory illnesses and supporting nutrition through clean cooking and safe refrigeration.
By addressing energy poverty with practical, proven solutions, SolarBuddy is helping communities thrive — and we’re ready to do even more.
