Nearly 1 Billion People Live Without Access to Electricity SELF designs and implements solar projects for disadvantaged communities around the world. MEET THE MOTHERS OF ANGARADEBOU IN BENIN AFRICA. In Angaradebou, a village in northern Benin, mothers struggled to grow enough food to feed their families during the lengthy dry season. As you will see in the My Fat Baby video, SELF's Solar Market Garden combines solar-powered pumps with drip irrigation to enable year-round food production - empowering women to earn a living selling produce and assuring the health of their children. Bringing electricity to remote, disenfranchised communities helps improve the quality of life in many ways. Here are just a few:__
Saving Lives
Powers vaccine refrigerators, medical equipment, and water purification systems.__
Enabling Water and Food Security Fuels solar-powered pumps to ensure clean water delivery. Combined with drip irrigation, the pumps enable year-round food production.__
Improving Education
Powers lights and computers and enables internet connectivity.__
Increasing Income
Provides electricity for goods and services not previously available, creating a more robust economy.PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
