Where There Is No Light

Imagine having to conduct a delivery in darkness. This 2009 video depicts the beginning of WE  CARE's  journey to bring power and light to maternal health facilities.

A Solar Suitcase

The WE CARE Solar Suitcase brings lights, power and hope to health facilities in regions without reliable electricity. Learn more about our portable solar electric systems. You can see the April PBS NewsHour feature on We Care Solar, including interviews with co-founders Hal Aronson and Laura Stachel on our video page.
