Disaster Response & Recovery
About this program
Our Disaster Response and Recovery Fund delivers reliable, portable solar solutions for communities impacted by disasters and crises worldwide.
By maintaining a pre-positioned stock of products, SolarBuddy can equip our distribution partners with vital solar solutions to support their relief response. This restores access to safe lighting and device charging, reducing risks when power infrastructure is disrupted. Access to power enables education continuity, assists communication, supports emergency health responses, accelerates recovery, and strengthens communities’ capacity to prepare for the future.
Impacts of disasters
The frequency and severity of disasters worldwide leave millions without energy access during critical and uncertain moments.
When emergencies strike, families often lose lighting, communication and the ability to charge essential devices. This can disrupt education, limit access to vital health services, and create safety risks in already vulnerable communities.
For many, the recovery is further delayed by high costs and long timelines involved in restoring grid infrastructure. Access to reliable, portable and clean energy is essential to maintain dignity, protect health and safety, and accelerate recovery and resilience in disaster-affected regions.
