The company has provided clean energy and sources of livelihood to the residents and also helped in preserving ecosystems.  They have also made efforts to empower women in these areas, by training them to become entrepreneurs.

In a statement to the Thomson Reuters Foundation, Jaideep Bansal, GHE’s chief operating officer, stated, “Without access to basic facilities and better income opportunities, the villagers are likely to migrate to towns in search of jobs, accelerating cultural and social erosion in these areas.” He added, “We are able to leverage tourism as a force for the holistic development of remote mountain communities.”

According to Bansal, more than 1,300 travellers have so far paid up to $3,500 each, to join the hikes, with about a quarter of the charge going towards setting up the solar grid. He further mentioned that the tourists work alongside engineers to install the micro-grids and fixtures, including street lights and LED lights, fans and mobile charging points in homes.

GHE is actively involved in Impact Expeditions to remote Himalayan villages and a meagrer portion of the collected fee is utilized to fund the capital cost of the hardware, transportation, installation and training of village-scale solar micro-grids.
