Namukwaya used to spend her days fetching water on foot, never knowing if what she found was safe to drink.

Now, she has clean water close to home—thanks to our generous donors and #SolarPower. Her story ➡️ youtu.be/Zv_UZBGDzUg?...

Earth’s climate swings increasingly out of balance Geneva, Switzerland (WMO) – The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the atmosphere and ocean and me...

🚨 From the @wmo-global.bsky.social's latest State of #Climate report: 2015-2025 were the hottest 11 years on record.

Last year, millions of people suffered from extreme weather events. Billions were registered in economic losses.

Enough is enough. It's time to #ActOnClimate.

#SDG13

A great initiative. 🪷🦆

Wow, very interesting! 💡

Hopefully the first seven of many 🌎💡

Any percentage is too much. For the marine life, and the rest of the planet, we must end our use of fossil fuels once and for all. ❌🛢️

SELF is working to bring solar power & clean water to the Olchoro Conservancy Rhino Sanctuary.

The conservancy, located in Kenya's Maasai Mara, protects endangered rhinos. With #solar, they'll have more capacity to expand their great work!

Ready, set, harvest! The Derrassi farming cooperative has got plenty to share. What would you make with all this fresh produce?

Great opportunity! 💡

Many farming communities lack access to reliable #electricity, leading to spoilage and post-harvest loss.

We're working to cut food waste by improving access to solar-powered refrigeration.

For a better food future 🌱💛

Great resource 🌱

We have so many incredible solutions available today, and the technology is only getting better.

We still face significant challenges, generally in the domains of policy, funding, and access.

But we are on our way. ⚡🌍

Despite serious political challenges, the energy transition cannot be stopped ⚡🌎

Think we can spare it. Solar for all! ✊🏼☀️

This is the natural cost of failing to invest in the health of our planet.

The best time to start was 50 years ago. The next best time is today.

What are the environmental benefits of solar power?

#Solar doesn't just reduce #emissions. It also avoids the land clearing and habitat disruption often required for power lines and centralized grids.

Solar = a win for people and the #planet. 💚

Yes, there are a variety of common waterborne illnesses in this part of Uganda, including cholera, typhoid, and dysentery.

Access to clean water can prevent these and keep families healthier ❤️‍🩹💧

For years, Namukwaya spent her days fetching water for her family. Each trip carried a quiet worry: that the next jug could be the one to make her children sick.

Finally, Namukwaya can hand her daughter a glass of water with confidence.
