Grid power won’t reach much of rural Africa in our lifetimes, but the solar power solution can – and is. Bob Freling is executive director of the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), a Washington, D.C.- based nonprofit organization that has been on the cutting edge of using solar technology to improve lives in rural communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific. By partnering with such organizations as the Jane Goodall Institute, Boston-based Partners In Health and Stanford University's Program on Food Security and the Environment, SELF has brought alternative power and new opportunities to countless people in the developing world.
