About

We Care Solar is a non-profit organization that promotes safe motherhood and reduces maternal mortality in developing regions by providing health workers with reliable lighting, mobile communication, and medical devices using solar electricity.

We Care Solar serves some of the most impoverished populations in Africa and Southeast Asia. The majority of their programs are in rural communities where families live in extreme poverty. Primary beneficiaries include (1) families in need of frontline health services, (2) mothers and their newborns, and (3) healthcare workers. Their training programs build capacity in solar installation, operation, and servicing, giving work opportunities to local technicians and promoting women as trainers. Their Light Every Birth initiative focuses on equipping underserved health centers in countries with high rates of maternal mortality, including Sierra Leone, Liberia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Ethiopia and Nigeria. By enhancing the quality of care in frontline health centers using clean, renewable energy, their programs promote sustainable development goals for poverty alleviation, health care, energy access, gender equity, and climate action.
