What We Do
SonLight Power makes an immediate and lasting impact for the poorest people in Central and South America as well as Africa. Most live in areas with no supply of affordable electricity which hinders the quality of their medical care, obstructs education for their children and simply makes everyday life even more challenging.
Using solar panel technology and volunteer work teams, SonLight Power connects orphanages, medical clinics, schools and churches to a 30 year supply of electricity. This sustainable power source releases children who work in the fields during the day to get an education in the evening after dark. It provides refrigeration to store medications at clinics in remote locations. SonLight Power systems power lighting so the orphanage cook can prepare breakfast for 100 children before sunrise or simply run a fan to create a refreshing breeze on a 110 degree day.
We have found that people who live off the electrical grid are not only poor monetarily, but are also poor in spirit. They have lost hope…lost hope in their fellow man . . . and lost hope in God. These are some of the most spiritually dark places in the world. The work teams from SonLight Power bring them hope. Our presence in traveling to their location is a physical reminder that God loves them. The installation of the solar panel system gives SonLight Power team members the opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus's love as the reason that we are there.
SonLight Power's efforts are coordinated through established contacts inside each country that are already working with the local church. Our efforts bring the church valuable credibility with their community and enhance their opportunity to share the Good News.
SonLight Power delivers immediate, impactful and lasting change to the darkest places in Central and South America and Africa. It is our privilege to "take Light into darkness."
