Mission
Our mission is to improve healthcare delivery in The Gambia by providing proven, reliable, and sustainable electricity through solar energy
Vision
We believe solar power generation of electricity will make quality health care possible in even the most remote areas of The Gambia. We believe it can be both technically and financially sustainable through a comprehensive solar electrification system integrated within The Gambia Health Care Sector. Solar Power can save lives.
Philosophy
We believe that grassroots efforts that stay connected to projects for the long term are the most effective. We believe in solar power and equity in medicine – and we work closely with our partners in the Gambian health care and energy sector in all of our projects to achieve those goals.
Power Up Gambia, with its mission to provide reliable, responsible electricity and water to health facilities in western Gambia serves to increase access to health care for poor people and to reduce the toll of "modernization" on our planet. This work succeeds in uniting the two great struggles of our time: the struggle for social justice and that for ecological justice.Paul Farmer, MD, PhD
