SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is expanding access to low-cost renewable energy solutions in rural areas to improve livelihoods and reduce environmental impact. SayPro provides affordable solar lighting kits, clean cookstoves, and wind-powered solutions to communities without grid access. Peace Corps volunteers assist SayPro in conducting energy needs assessments and training families on proper use and maintenance. SayPro’s approach brings energy equity while promoting environmental sustainability.
SayPro partners with local cooperatives to establish microgrids and solar community hubs that power schools, clinics, and small businesses. SayPro ensures that solutions are community-owned, maintained, and governed. Peace Corps volunteers help with technical training and help monitor impact metrics like reduced carbon emissions and cost savings. SayPro believes that access to clean energy not only lights up homes but powers opportunity, especially for women and youth-led enterprises.
SayPro introduces school-based energy clubs to educate students on renewable technologies and climate change. Students participate in solar panel installations, battery recycling projects, and energy audits. Peace Corps volunteers support SayPro by organizing green technology fairs and training teachers on energy science. These programs inspire innovation and prepare future leaders in sustainability. SayPro’s education and empowerment model ensures the long-term adoption of clean energy solutions.
Looking forward, SayPro plans to develop a revolving fund to help families finance energy upgrades over time. With Peace Corps collaboration, SayPro envisions a future where rural communities thrive with clean, reliable, and affordable energy. SayPro believes that energy access is essential to development—and no one should be left in the dark.
