We Care Solar is an award-winning U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening health care and education in under-resourced countries by improving access to clean, reliable electricity. Since 2010, We Care Solar has designed and delivered compact, durable solar electric systems to energy-deficient health centers and schools, replacing candles and kerosene lanterns with bright, efficient LED lights and power for essential devices.
Solar for Healthcare: Our Light Every Birth initiative is transforming maternal health care at the national level in select countries in Africa. The We Care Solar Suitcase provides health workers with highly efficient medical lighting and power for mobile communication and medical devices. This device is effective in a range of medical and humanitarian settings and has been distributed to thousands of health facilities worldwide. Our training programs build local capacity in solar installation, operation and maintenance.
Solar for Education: Our hands-on STEM education program, We Share Solar, empowers students to learn about solar as a solution to local and global energy access challenges while gaining skills in engineering, electricity, and problem solving while assembling specialized Solar Suitcase Learning Kits.
We Care Solar has received international accolades and numerous awards, including the 2019 Zayed Sustainability Award, the 2017 UNFCCC Momentum for Change Award, the 2015 UN DESA Powering the Future We Want Award and the 2013 CNN Top 10 Heroes. Media coverage has included features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, PBS Newshour, BBC World News, CNN, ABC and CBS.
