At Solar Sister, environmental stewardship is central to our mission. By empowering women entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa to distribute clean energy products like solar lights and clean cookstoves, we directly address issues such as deforestation, air pollution, and climate change. Every clean energy product sold means fewer trees cut down for fuel, less toxic smoke in homes, and a significant reduction in carbon emissions. On World Environment Day, we recognize the vital role our Solar Sister Entrepreneurs play in protecting the environment, one solar light and cookstove at a time, demonstrating that environmental care and women's empowerment go hand in hand. Women are powering the change! #worldenvironmentday #energyaccess #climateaction #genderequity (fb)

🌧️🚲 Rain or Shine, Trufaina Delivers! Before receiving her new bicycle and raincoat, Solar Sister entrepreneur Trufaina Lytuu struggled to reach her customers during Tanzania’s rainy season. "I used to walk with an umbrella that broke in the wind, and often my products got wet," she says. Today, thanks to the generosity of a donor, she pedals confidently through rainstorms to deliver solar lights and cookstoves, expanding her reach to more villages near Moshi, Kilimanjaro. "With my bicycle and raincoat, I can serve my customers without worrying. I've reached places I couldn't before, saving time and money. Now even the rain doesn’t stop me!" 👉 https://solarsister.org/rainorshine/ #SolarSister #CleanEnergy #WomenEntrepreneurs #ImpactStory #RainOrShine #energyaccess #climateaction #genderequity (fb)
