Thanks to your incredible generosity and the solidarity of thousands of people, the Let Cuba Live campaign and The People’s Forum have raised over $700,000 to send solar panels and batteries to hospitals and clinics across Cuba. We wanted to send you some exciting updates on the status of the panels and this urgent campaign.
Since December 2025, the Trump administration’s blockade has allowed only one fuel shipment to reach Cuba. The result? Crippling blackouts are devastating the country’s public health system. Despite heroic efforts by Cuban medical staff, over 96,000 patients are waiting for major surgery, including 11,000 children. The lack of reliable electricity, due to the fuel shortage, is the direct cause.
But we (and thousands of donors) refused to accept that as the end of the story.
After navigating enormous obstacles designed by the US government to block aid to Cuba, we’ve purchased:
- 10 autonomous solar kits (65KW each) – to be distributed in 10 hospitals, enough to power operating rooms, intensive care units, and other vital hospital areas.
- 33 smaller solar kits (up to 6KW each) – for 33 rural clinics in eastern Cuba.
These urgently needed supplies will soon be on their way to Cuba, helping the island’s health system transition to renewable energy so millions of Cubans can access the quality, free healthcare they deserve.
But we don’t want to stop here. Can you help us keep this campaign going?
The generosity and energy of the campaign so far have shown that people in the U.S. and around the world understand the urgency of standing up with the Cuban people against the genocidal policies of the U.S. We want to secure more solar panels for even more hospitals and clinics. Trump can’t block the sun, and he can’t block our solidarity.
Donate now to send more solar kits to Cuban hospitals!
In solidarity,
The People’s Forum
