Program accomplishments
- Equipping Outreach: SonLight Power annually provides solar expertise for outreach organizations operating in developing parts of the world with non-existent, limited or unreliable supplies of electric power. This challenge is especially evident in countries where the overwhelming needs of schools, medical clinics, orphanages and churches far exceed the capacity of public infrastructure. Each year, SonLight Power helps numerous mission organizations improve sustainability while reducing dependency on expensive generator fuel. SonLight also provides solar expertise for U.S. Tax Exempt organizations to improve sustainability and increase engagement in the SonLight mission. As a result, SonLight Equipping Outreach has empowered mission partners to focus more of their resources on improving more lives.Expenses $402,181 · revenue $447,910
- Mission Trips: SonLight Power annually sponsors mission trips that impact children and their families living without access to reliable electricity. These trips generally consist of volunteer project teams that install solar power systems - connecting schools, medical clinics, community centers, orphanages, water-pumping stations and churches to a 30-year supply of sustainable electricity. Applications powered by SonLight solar projects include lights and multimedia tools to improve education, refrigeration to store food and life-saving vaccines and medicines, and water-pumping where clean water is scarce. Over the lifetime of SonLights collaborative projects, the solar power generated makes an immediate and lasting impact for tens of thousands of lives.Expenses $235,212 · revenue $365,229
