EarthSpark builds clean, just energy systems and businesses that empower communities in Haiti and around the world.
We are thrilled to share good news from #Haiti.

Many years in the making, six mayors recently signed contracts to bring electricity to their towns. Solar-powered smart electricity grids will soon serve over 28,000 people. #microgrid #determination

“In rural Haiti, we need to ask what is the best technology of today and then use that!” People went from no phones to WhatsApp! Same needs to happen with other tech. @emmadouyon #hdi5 @HaitiDevInst

On #InternationalWomensDay, we invite everyone working on #SDG7 to embrace "Feminist Electrification." When women participate and lead in all aspects of designing + delivering #SE4All, everyone wins.

#genderjustice and #climatejustice are inextricably linked.

Siloed approaches are stalling #SDG7. That's why we're working with @UN_Energy on an #EnergyCompact to bring clean electric cooking powered by ☀️-powered #minigrids to thousands of homes and businesses in #Haiti. #COP27

⭐️Wow! EarthSpark's "Scaling Smart, Solar, Energy Access Microgrids in Haiti" named ☀️"Sustainable Energy Initiative of the Year"☀️ by @IslandsInnovate and @ClintonGlobal !

Electric cooking + #renewableenergy are essential to achieve #SDG7! Electricity grids can (should!) be designed with this in mind. Check out our new @UN_Energy Compact for e-cooking in Haiti.

Our hearts are aching and our team in Les Anglais is scrambling to check for downed lines, help injured. The roads are impassible and the regional hospitals have stopped responding. #haitiearthquake

This weekend Americans celebrate a bold declaration. It wasn’t itself enough, but it was a pivotal piece of what has become history.

What will our era’s contribution be?

"#HaitianFlagDay is the day in Haiti that's just about joy--school parades, national pride-it's a lot of fun!"
Take a little trip to a roadside restaurant in our video and ask - what if #electricity could do more in Haiti?
We're full of hope and joy and wishing you the same!
