With the vision of powering a brighter 21st century, the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) brings solar power and modern communications to rural villages in the developing world -- for enhancements in health, education, and economic well-being.

SELF seeks to assist developing world communities and governments in the acquisition, financing and installation of decentralized household solar electric systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity. It also helps start up rural solar enterprises. SELF seeks to accelerate commercial market acceptance of solar-generated electricity in developing countries through "solar seed" projects. SELF provides technical assistance and training programs, and develops grass-roots financing mechanisms. Through media communications, educational programs, and awareness campaigns, SELF promotes decentralized green power throughout the developing world.
