Solar Charger Project
The goal of this project is to help make and provide portable solar USB chargers for Ukrainian civilians and defenders.
The Need
Millions of people in Ukraine are left without access to electricity and cell phone connection due to the deliberate destruction of the country's energy infrastructure.
We take small solar panels in the USA and turn them into USB chargers to power devices, which we then ship and distribute across Ukraine.
