 Our aim is to make a big difference for selected worthy causes around the world by unifying and concentrating resources available to us, focusing on only one or two projects at a time. This website has been created as a vehicle by which to collect donations and to provide you with unique offerings that are fun investments for your future.
Our first project is to raise awareness and funds to help build a solar powered hospital in Burundi, which is arguably the poorest country in the world. We are focusing on Burundi because the story and the people behind this partnership has inspired us to help and become involved.
The Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) is a not for profit focused on providing better opportunities to millions of individuals living in extreme poverty through access to reliable energy. In 2007, SELF collaborated with Partners In Health (PIH) and successfully solar electrified five rural health in clinics in Eastern Rwanda. SELF is once again teaming up with PIH, as well as Burundi-based Village Health Works (VHW), to solar electrify a newly renovated modern health center in the village of Kigutu which will ultimately serve 60,000 people ensuring a path to a brighter and more healthy tomorrow.
More About This Project
We are using the project in Burundi as a case study to demonstrate the dire situation that exists for those without access to sustainable, reliable energy. Furthermore, this project reveals that clean energy issues and infrastructure are at the core of healthy, sustainable development and society. Most Burundians currently have NO electricity: That means no lights, no computers, no phones, and no communication grid.
If there is a medical emergency, pray that it is during the day and that you have time to get to the hospital before the sun goes down.
OK. So what can I do now?
