Enables income generation – for example, through solar pumps for irrigation or electricity for a small business;
provides power to community health clinics, and refrigerators to store medicines, as well as cell phones, which have transformed commerce;
reduces the time and drudgery of collecting fuel wood, supporting cleaner, more efficient cooking and heating options;
provides lighting, so children can study after dark;
enables businesses to operate and creates new opportunities for entrepreneurs.
