Objective 6: Sustainable Community Development
About This Programme
Extreme heat and long electricity outages affect low-income families, schools, mosques and community facilities across Pakistan. Helping Aid Foundation installs solar-powered systems so that essential services keep running when the grid does not.
Solar is central to our sustainability approach: once installed, a system costs a community almost nothing to run, which makes it one of the most durable forms of support we can offer.
