HOPe Africa is launching a humanitarian solar reuse initiative to collect certified, overstocked, or gently used solar panels and lithium batteries across the U.S. for reuse in rural communities across developing nations that have lived in darkness for decades.
These donations will restore education access, empower small businesses, and revive local economies through clean, sustainable energy.
We are seeking supporters, donors, logistics partners, and volunteers to join our mission to power hope where light has long been lost.
