Reading our very first Alumni Report, & this was the opening quote:
β€˜I bought my family a solar lamp, a TV, a cow, and a chicken… now my husband doesn’t do anything without asking me first.’

Solar lamp on. TV on. Voice in the household? On.

When women are a part of the clean energy sector, they bring valuable skills and insight that can drive real change. In rural areas, women often take on key roles, such as running businesses, reaching last-mile communities, and helping their neighbors access reliable energy.
