02 Activities

What the charity does

Mlinda Foundation's focus is to facilitate development of rural electrification projects using renewable energy in India. Communities in project areas had no access to reliable electricity and opportunities to earn income were limited. Initial results from project areas show household income has increased by over 60% through the use of electric-powered equipment in households and for agriculture.
