🌞🌍 SPOTLIGHT ON SOLAR UNITED NEIGHBORS 🌍🌞 FOCUSING ON SUSTAINABLE IMPACT: EQUITABLE, HEALTHY & RESILIENT COMMUNITIES   At Larta, we believe that true resilience goes beyond mere recovery from emergencies and crises — it requires the creation of inclusive communities that foster well-being for all. This is why one of our key impact areas is focused on building equitable, healthy & resilient communities.   Our approach is to incorporate elements of resilience into the daily lives of individuals, ensuring that the essentials — clean water, nutritious food, secure housing, reliable energy, accessible education, and comprehensive healthcare — are not just available, but equitably distributed. By supporting innovators who are developing solutions that can foster resilience, we aim to empower communities to not only withstand economic and climate shocks, but to thrive.   Today, we spotlight Solar United Neighbors, a pioneering organization dedicated to making rooftop solar accessible and affordable for everyone. Founded in 2007 by Anya Schoolman, Solar United Neighbors began as a grassroots effort to bring solar power to her neighborhood. Inspired by her son Walter and his friend Diego, Anya initiated the Mt. Pleasant Solar Cooperative, which helped 45 neighbors go solar and paved the way for better solar policies.   From this local effort, Solar United Neighbors has grown into a national movement, empowering communities across the country to take control of their energy futures by organizing solar co-ops and advocating for sustainable energy policies.   Explore our 2023 Impact Report to discover more about our programs and the companies leading the charge.   👉 Read our 2023 Impact Report: larta.org/impact 👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://lnkd.in/gSBs934x 👉 Signup for our mailing list: larta.org/newsletter/   #RenewableEnergy #EquitableCommunities #ResilientCommunities #SDG7 #SDG13
