Every morning, before she lights a fire, before she feeds the chickens, before she wakes her three grandchildren for school, Irma turns on the faucet and pours herself a glass of water. This small act may seem inconsequential to many, but Irma waited more than forty years to do this, and she refuses to start her remaining days any other way.
Until recently, Irma was one of more than one million Hondurans who lack access to clean drinking water. Irma's situation and that of her neighbors changed earlier this year when EOS International came to her village located in the foothills of the Cordillera de Montecillos

 In Chiang Rai Province in Northern Thailand, farmers On Sukkaseam and Jumnong Inthatow have spent their whole lives cultivating the land. Like most of the 6.4 million Thais who farm for a living, they’ve struggled with low and unpredictable income. This changed nearly ten years ago when On and Junmong joined Chacha’s organic farming program.
Nearly three million Mexicans are not connected to the grid. Ilumexico’s mission is to reverse this by bringing affordable, reliable, and renewable solar power to communities. Households get more than lights, a fan, or a television. For many, having energy access can dramatically improve their incomes.
