Key Activities

Let There Be Light International works with grassroots NGOs to solar-electrify prioritized health clinics in Uganda and to distribute pico lights to resource-constrained, off-grid homes with members in one or more M.O.D.E.S. (Mothers, Orphans, Persons living with a Disability, Elders, Students).

• 56 rural Health Centers (II and III) have received 300-500 Watt solar systems
• 21,000 households have received pico lights
• Safe Births + Healthy Homes is our signature maternal/infant health project - pairing clinic electrification with community education and an incentive of a solar light for new mothers who deliver at the clinics.
