💡 Light transforms. That was clear from my very first project at @solarfund, a home lighting initiative in rural China back in 1994. This photo was taken inside the tent of a family of Tibetan nomads who were able to turn on a light bulb for the first time in their lives thanks to power of the sun.

November marks the start of the dry season in Benin. But these farms will stay green, thanks to solar-powered drip irrigation!

@SolarFund renovated four of its solar gardens this year.

#Electricity is a powerful tool in the fight against #poverty, and—as argued by @rajshah—the single best investment we can make for our shared future.

We have the technology. Now, let's take action. #sdg7
