Dear Friends of Solar Village,

We’re excited to share some incredible updates and upcoming projects with you. Here's what's on the horizon.

Upcoming School Projects and Expanding Our Reach: Next month, we have three school projects lined up, made possible by the generous support of the IREM Foundation and the Rock Spring Congregation. These projects will bring clean, reliable and renewable energy to more schools in need. Additionally, thanks to a significant grant from Rotary, we have 19 more schools in the pipeline. This expansion underscores our commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions to educational institutions across the region.

The Urgency of Our Mission: The global south, particularly India, faces a real existential threat from climate change. Recently, India recorded its highest temperature ever at 126 degrees. This alarming event highlights the broader crisis posed by climate change.

The impacts of the climate crisis extend beyond just high temperatures. It is a systemic crisis, leading to cascading effects such as:

• Water conflict
• Crop failure
• Food insecurity

These issues ultimately cause political destabilization and civil unrest.

We are rapidly approaching critical tipping points that could have catastrophic impacts on societies worldwide. For more information, you can read this report on climate tipping points.

Given the severity of the situation, it is clear that business as usual will lead to disastrous outcomes. Therefore, sustainable development and renewable energy solutions are more critical than ever to mitigate these impacts and build resilient communities.

Continuing Our Journey: As we move forward, your support is invaluable in helping us bring sustainable energy to those who need it most. Together, we can make a significant difference in combating energy poverty and climate change.

Thank you for standing with us in this crucial mission. With each project and partnership, we move closer to a sustainable and empowered future.
