Over 800 million people worldwide do not have access to electricity, denying them many of the benefits of the modern world. We believe hope and innovation start with access to clean power. Our mission is to empower vulnerable communities on the frontlines of climate change, loss of wildlife and environmental devastation. We achieve this by donating clean energy technologies and facilitating the recruitment of local people and organizations to install, operate and maintain the systems which make their communities more independent, resilient and sustainable. Our approach improves lives and the environment, encourages local development, and serves as a catalyst for the adoption or expansion of renewable energy in the regions we serve. Empowered by Light’s first project, Solar: ZAMBIA, began as an effort to deliver thousands of solar-powered LED light/cell phone charge kits to very remote areas with no access to electricity. In 2011 and 2012, EBL delivered light kits to 52 basic schools throughout the Shangombo District in the Western Province of Zambia. With the kits, school-age children have been able to study at night, after the sun has set, improving their grade performance and their chances for a better life. In 2013, we built our first solar micro grid at Sioma High School in Zambia, a school comprised of 27 buildings that serves over 600 students. Since then, we have completed nearly 50 solar and energy storage projects in eight countries.

Using Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to create your family can be overwhelming, confusing and stressful. Those who enter this world enter a daunting maze, difficult to navigate and filled with pitfalls. Many spend years spinning their wheels on the wrong track, only to realize that they "did not know what they did not know". At Empowered IVF we are committed to ensuring that you know everything you need to know. We believe that you must own the process and become an engaged and knowledgeable IVF "consumer" rather than a passive and vulnerable IVF "patient". Our mission is to help you navigate the world of ART in a discerning and informed fashion with a sophisticated understanding of the subtleties and nuances that are not apparent on the surface. We will empower you to make smart choices and decisions, saving you time, money and heartache, and improving your likelihood of having a baby. At Empowered IVF we are deeply passionate about helping to build families of all kinds. Our clients are heterosexual and LGBT couples and singles throughout the world who are interested in building their families with ART in the United States or Canada.
