In 2024, 90% of clean energy investment remained concentrated in advanced economies & China, leaving low-income countries behind.

The clean energy transition must be accessible to EVERYONE. Repost if you agree! 🌟

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table & paying the electric bill.

You stepped up, along with our partners at @sempra.bsky.social, to solar-electrify border homes, helping people like Blanca.

When schools gain access to electricity:
🏫 Classrooms stay open into the evening
💡 Children can study after dark
💻 Teachers can introduce digital learning tools

With solar energy, off-grid schools can unlock brighter futures. Learn more: www.self.org/education/

Cuts to humanitarian aid have been devastating, but sunlight hasn't disappeared—and neither has our will to act.

This #GivingTuesday, take a stand against energy poverty & help us bring #solar where it's needed most.

Oumarou lives in rural Benin & sees the effects of #ClimateChange firsthand.

Water scarcity is growing, and without access to the electric grid, his community can't pump clean water.

But solar can fill the gap—and your #GivingTuesday gift can help.

Greetings from the greenhouse! In Derrassi, Benin, this new greenhouse is helping farmers grow fresh produce—even in the hottest, driest months.

It’s a small but powerful boost to #ClimateResilience and the newest addition to SELF’s solar gardens. ☀️🌱

#COP30 is a chance to shift from talk to action.

As leaders gather in Brazil, we’re calling for climate solutions that reach the last mile.

Clean, reliable energy is the backbone of resilient communities. No one gets left behind.
