Power to the People




Most “civilized” people in the world take energy infrastructure for granted, but for about 1.7 billion people in developing areas, the availability of electricity is a dreamed-of luxury.

This lack of dependable forms of energy in remote places prevents people from providing for their basic needs. Families are forced to spend long hours every day gathering firewood for cooking, heating, and light, hauling impure drinking water long distances by hand, and traveling to remote towns for basic medical care.

There is little time for anything else and little hope of living a healthy life free of simple-to-cure diseases, or enjoying the opportunities of an education, or developing vocational skills and talents to earn a meaningful living. The resulting cycle of poverty is as prevalent as it is persistent.

These issues raise a central question, more pressing now than ever before; a question at the heart of our decision to found Solus International:

"How can we foster collective social justice and resource sustainability for everyone?"
