"On behalf of the staff at Kourel, I want to sincerely thank you." - Brigitte, midwife In 2024, your support brought electricity to communities like Kourel, Benin. The staff at the local health clinic, now equipped with solar-powered lighting and a vaccine refrigerator, can better care for patients and store vital immunizations. Thank you for powering quality care for all! #sdg7 #sdg3 #poweringhealthcare

The number of people without access to electricity declined by over 10 million in 2023. Preliminary data show similar results for 2024. (source: International Energy Agency (IEA)) More work is needed, but every day, new people gain access. Every day, lives are changed. #electrification #sdg7 #sustainabledevelopment

In 2024, your support lit up communities and expanded access to clean energy around the world. Thank you for your generosity. Here's to a bright 2025! ☀️ #sdg7 #solar #cleanenergy #energyaccess

I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished this year at the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF)! We launched innovative projects and partnerships. We sharpened our tools and introduced next-generation models. We aggressively pursued a climate-smart future free of energy poverty. Along the way, we've transformed thousands of lives and created new opportunities for the next generation. That's the power of energy, and we are so grateful for everyone who has been a part of it. Friends, collaborators, and allies—I want to reach out on this last day of the year and ask one last time for your support. We can only do this work because folks step up and give what they can.
