5 for 5 Microfinance Initiative
The 5 for 5 microfinance initiative will help the poorest villagers obtain the development, entrepreneurial and educational benefits of solar lights for their families. Our goal is to raise $100,000 within the first year to launch this microfinance social enterprise.
With your help, we can:
- Combat climate change and leapfrog dirty fossil fuel development
- Provide up to 8 hours of extra light for education and entrepreneurial activities — including cell phone charging inside the home
- Avoid the use of dangerous kerosene lanterns that cause lung disease and terrible burns in children, and
- Empower those who can least afford it with the gift of clean energy that is consumer-driven.
5 for 5 Year 1 Funding Goal
SVP can do all of this for as little as $25 per villager for a solar lantern. Please join us in the life-saving 5 for 5 solar campaign by contributing a minimum of $25 today — the cost of a solar light!
