How it's run

Community ownership & governance

Every system is owned, governed and maintained by the village itself — so the power stays on long after installation.

Generated by the villages themselves — a maintenance reserve that keeps the system running.
The difference

Not charity that decays — a village-owned asset that lasts.

A community-funded maintenance reserve means the system sustains itself long after handover. When a light fails, the village has both the trained technician and the funds to fix it — no dependence, no decay.

Owned locally. Funded locally. Built to keep running.
