Powering Wells with Solar Energy
Innovating Access. Empowering Communities. Sustaining Creation.
In many rural communities, access to clean water is hindered not by absence—but by exhaustion. Manual pumps, while functional, often require intense physical effort and serve too few people at a time. Women and children stand in long queues, sometimes for hours, just to collect a few liters of water—slowing down productivity, education, and well-being.
At Intermissions International Commission, we believe there’s a better way.
That’s why we’ve launched our Solar Water Access Program, an initiative to retrofit wells and boreholes with solar-powered pumping systems. This innovation transforms a single well into a high-capacity, low-maintenance water station that can serve three times as many people as a manual pump.
Why Solar?
✅ Faster Access: Automated pumping eliminates queues and manual labor, delivering more water in less time.
✅ Greater Reach: A single solar-powered unit can serve multiple families simultaneously, multiplying impact.
✅ Lower Costs: Solar energy reduces the need for fuel or grid power—cutting long-term operating expenses.
✅ Eco-Friendly: Clean energy means lower carbon footprints and greater environmental stewardship.
✅ Scalable: Modular systems can be expanded as community needs grow.
Real Impact in Real Time
In districts where solar systems have already been installed, we’ve seen:
- Up to 80% reduction in wait times
- A dramatic decrease in manual fatigue and water-related injuries
- More girls returning to school, thanks to faster water collection
- Improved community hygiene and water management
One village elder shared, “It’s as if the sun itself is serving us. We never imagined water would come this easily.”

Powering Wells with Solar Energy
Harnessing Light. Multiplying Access. Sustaining Life.
In many rural communities, access to water is not just about having a well—it’s about how that well functions. Manual hand pumps remain the only option in countless villages, requiring intense physical effort and serving only a limited number of people at a time. Long queues, fatigue, and water rationing are daily realities for many, especially women and children.
At Intermissions International Commission, we believe innovation should serve the vulnerable. That’s why we’ve launched a mission-driven effort to equip wells and boreholes with solar-powered pumping systems—a solution that is clean, efficient, and transformative.
⚡ Why Solar?
By using solar energy to power water access, one well can now do the work of three manual pumps—delivering clean water faster, farther, and with less strain on both people and the environment.
Benefits of solar-powered water systems:
- 🚿 Continuous Flow – Automated water access with minimal effort
- 👨👩👧👦 Expanded Reach – More families served per day
- ♻️ Eco-Conscious – Sustainable energy source with zero emissions
- 💰 Cost-Efficient – Lower long-term operating and maintenance costs
- 🔧 Less Wear – Reduced mechanical strain means longer system lifespan
This forward-thinking solution doesn’t just solve today’s problems—it sets communities up for lasting independence and dignity.
🌍 Real Impact, Real Change
In the regions where we’ve introduced solar-powered systems, communities have seen:
- A dramatic decrease in water wait times
- Healthier families through improved hygiene
- Educational freedom for girls, who now spend less time queuing for water
- A sense of ownership and pride in maintaining energy-smart infrastructure
One village chief in Central Uganda remarked,
“With the sun above and the water below, we finally feel like the world is moving forward—and we’re part of it.”
🌞 Let the Sun Be the Solution
Your support makes these installations possible. Whether through a one-time gift or ongoing contribution, you become part of the solution—bringing water, light, and life to communities on the edge.
💲 Give any amount to help scale solar-powered water solutions across villages
💲 Fund a full solar system and bring lasting impact to an entire region
Be the Light Behind the Flow
Together, we can use sustainable energy to serve those who need it most.
Clean water, powered by the sun—delivered by compassion.
