Let’s Share the Sun

The sun is a resource for all to share in common. Ironically, many of the economically poorest parts of the world receive an abundance of the sun’s rays. The Let's Share the Sun Foundation invites people to join together, share their diverse talents, resources, and realities, and help capture the sun’s energy in ways that improve the lives of people in poor communities and enhances the lives of all those who choose to participate in the Foundation’s endeavors.

Our Mission

Let’s Share the Sun Foundation aspires to facilitate the use of solar energy in poor communities around the world where harnessing the power of the sun will enhance the quality of life of those communities. The Foundation helps install solar power in some of the poorest parts of the world, including Africa, Asia and Latin America: places that are rich in their access to the sun but lack fundamental resources.
