Fifteen years ago, We Care Solar was founded to address a simple but pervasive problem: women dying in childbirth because their health facilities lack light. Midwives were delivering babies by candlelight, suturing by flashlight, and struggling to care for newborns in darkness.
Our response—the Solar Suitcase—provided an immediate, practical and sustainable solution to power critical maternal health care in off-grid facilities.
Today, Solar Suitcases support safer deliveries for more than 23 million mothers and newborns worldwide. Together, we have made that possible.
