The Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) is an international nonprofit organization working to fight climate change AND end global poverty by bringing clean energy (solar power!) and Internet access to the world's poorest people in remote rural areas. When you support SELF, you're providing electricity for village water pumps, schools, health clinics, homes and drip irrigation to grow crops.

With the help of solar energy, children will have clean, safe water to drink; food to eat; vaccinations to prevent disease; light to study by; and computers and Internet access at school to help them learn and lift themselves out of poverty. You'll also help power small tools and equipment their parents can use to earn a better income, so they can afford to send their children to school. Isn't it amazing what a little sunshine can do! :-)

Just imagine, for a moment, your life with no electricity -- no lights, no running water, no telephones or television or computers -- and you'll understand ... it takes ENERGY to end poverty. But for nearly 2 billion people on the planet, access to electricity is only a dream.

You can make a difference. Change a village ... Change the world.

Your donation will help power schools, health clinics, agricultural projects, and remote villages in developing countries throughout the world.

Thank you for making a difference today!
