Founded on the principles of sustainability, gender empowerment, and community development, Solar Sister has emerged as a beacon of hope, bringing clean energy solutions to underserved communities and transforming lives one solar light at a time.

At its core, Solar Sister is on a mission to combat energy poverty by providing access to affordable and sustainable clean energy solutions. But the organization’s vision extends far beyond mere illumination.

Solar Sister recognizes the transformative power of women as key drivers of change in their communities. By empowering local women as clean energy entrepreneurs, the organization aims to create a ripple effect that touches not only households but also entire communities.

The essence of Solar Sister’s approach lies in its unique and community-driven model. The organization identifies and trains women entrepreneurs, also known as Solar Sister Entrepreneurs, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to become clean energy advocates.

Armed with a range of solar-powered products, these women take on the roles of trusted distributors and educators within their communities.

Solar Sister is driving socio-economic transformation by allowing women to run their businesses and participate in the clean energy sector. These women become role models for others, challenging traditional gender norms and contributing to more equitable societies.

Solar Sister’s impact goes beyond just providing access to clean energy. The organization actively supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting gender equality, clean energy, and economic growth.

Solar Sister’s work has a direct and tangible effect on the lives of those it reaches. With access to clean energy, households can now study, work, and engage in productive activities after sunset.

What started as a small initiative in Uganda has now grown into a far-reaching movement. Solar Sister’s success in Uganda has spurred its expansion to other African countries, amplifying its impact across the continent.
