Power to the People - What it's all about

It is difficult to imagine living without electricity when so much of our daily lives depend on it.  How many times a day do we use lights, computers, televisions, iPods, computers, microwaves, air conditioners, DVD players, and so much more?  Electricity allows us to access information, be more efficient and productive in our jobs, experience the comforts of a heated or air-conditioned building, and enjoy the latest innovations in entertainment and communication.  Electricity brings with it exposure to another world of possibilities and allows us to advance together through our participation in innovation, discovery, and comfort. 

Power to the People works together with communities in the developing world to install solar electric systems (photovoltaics) on community buildings. We believe sustainability is not just about the environment, but is about living a balanced and healthy life with access to information and opportunities that allow people to make decisions that do not harm the earth or future generations.
