One
out of every three human beings lives without electricity.
Most are in isolated, rural communities located beyond the
established electrical infrastructure. In
the Dominican Republic, for example, as many as 1 million
people are thought to be affected. In Honduras, the number is closer to 3 million, a majority of
the rural population. This lack of electricity impedes
socioeconomic development, negatively impacts the standard of
living, limits the quality of education and threatens the
health of community residents.
Founded in 1984, Enersol is
a non-profit charitable organization developing and
introducing sustainable energy solutions for rural
communities. By supporting the use of clean, renewable solar energy for
health and education applications in Latin America, we are
committed to demonstrating that it's possible to improve the
quality of life in rural areas of developing nations around
the world. And,
by sharing the results of our work with other organizations,
we reach beyond the people of Latin America, through the
replication of our efforts worldwide.
