Let's Share the Sun Foundation

Let's Share the Sun Foundation LSTS was founded to help install solar in some of the poorest parts of the world, that are rich in their access to the sun but lack fundamental resources.

The foundation will work to provide power through solar technology.

Our team, Nancy Brennan Jordan, Lucas Barreto, Rebecca Rodriguez, and Joelys Cuevas, will be in New York September 21-25, joining conversations around climate, energy, and the work happening in Puerto Rico. On September 24, we’ll also be part of Climate & Energy Challenges and Solutions in Puerto Rico, alongside organizations working across the island to share what’s being built, what’s working, and where we go from here.

If you’ll be in NYC that week, we’d love to connect! Whether you’re a longtime partner or someone we haven’t met yet, we’d love to cross paths, exchange ideas, and be part of the conversations happening throughout the week.

See you in New York!

Why Honduras? An estimated 1.5 million people in Honduras still live without access to electricity in rural and remote communities. These are the families the traditional electricity distribution grid has been unable to reach.

Through the Universal Access Program with@soluzhonduras, off-grid solar offers another path. The goal is to reach 5,000 families by 2030. LSTS supports the model with $100 in results-based funding per family, which helps make the off-grid solar kits more affordable while supporting the cost of reaching remote communities.

Last week, we completed an 11.6 kW solar installation with 16 kWh of battery storage at Hogar Elizabeth Fuente de Amor in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico, an elder care home that has served its community for more than 30 years and is currently home to 19 residents. Now, when the grid goes down, essential needs like lighting, refrigeration, and medical equipment can remain powered, bringing greater energy security and peace of mind to both residents and caregivers.

This installation was made possible through the generous support of (BD) and marks the fifth project BD has funded with us since 2023. Together, we're helping ensure that the places caring for some of our most vulnerable community members have the reliable energy they need to continue that care.

Thank you, BD, for continuing to believe in and invest in this work.

Yesterday, we joined (MPA) for the closing celebration of its programs. Through PARACa, MPA places young professionals with nonprofit organizations across Puerto Rico, helping strengthen local organizations while creating meaningful professional experiences.

Representing LSTS was Lucas Barreto, alongside Dr. Anaís Roque from and PARACa participants Joelys Cuevas Ortiz and Isamar Rivera. Together, they represent a collaboration that has allowed LSTS and Duke to combine community work, research, and local capacity building in Puerto Rico. We're also excited to share that Joelys will continue with LSTS for a second year through PARACa, allowing us to build on the work, relationships, and projects developed over the past year.

We're grateful to MPA and for partnerships that continue strengthening our work in Puerto Rico and the communities we serve.

Have you ever wondered what life looks like without electricity?

In many rural communities across Honduras, families aren't waiting for the power to come back on. They've never been connected to the electric grid.

Through our partnership with , we're helping change that by expanding access to Off-Grid Solar, bringing clean, reliable energy to homes where electricity has never existed. More than 600 families now have light, the ability to charge a phone, and greater opportunities for everyday life. This is just one part of the work beyond Puerto Rico.

Our Executive Director, , recently marked her first 150 days leading Let's Share the Sun. To reflect on this milestone, she wrote a heartfelt letter about the people, partnerships, and moments that have shaped these first months—and the hope that continues to guide our mission every day.

We're honored to share her letter as the opening message of our May-July Impact Newsletter.

Living with diabetes and a respiratory illness is challenging enough. Having to worry about losing electricity to refrigerate medication or power oxygen equipment shouldn't be part of that reality.

Today, this family has reliable solar energy, bringing greater safety, peace of mind, and the reassurance that essential medical needs can continue to be met, even when the grid goes down.

Some experiences are hard to put into words. After helping install solar systems for families in Adjuntas, Dr. Gabriel found one that said it all: hope.

Sheila's Hearts of Hope is a special tradition at Let's Share The Sun that honors the legacy of beloved teacher Sheila Gallius. Each wooden heart is passed from one person to another as a way of recognizing acts of compassion, service, and hope that inspire others.

During our most recent delegation in Adjuntas, every participant was invited to leave their Heart of Hope with someone who made a lasting impact on them.

Our summer intern, Andrew Diaz, chose to leave his with the camera. Not because it's just a tool, but because every photo and every video helps tell the stories behind our work, capturing the people, the moments, and the purpose that connect our community and inspire others to take action. Sometimes, hope isn't just found in the work we do. It's found in the stories we choose to share.

If you had a Heart of Hope, who would you pass it to?
