Joshua Knight has always had a deep longing to help the underserved in physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. It was this longing that led him to Global Hope Network International<\/a>, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing sustainable solutions and transformational assistance to communities in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. As a sustainability engineer, he has been on the ground to assist with Transformational Community Development, water, and disaster response projects in Iraq, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Cameroon. <\/p>\n

Now his sustainable mission has come full circle. Thanks to the Colorado Energy Office and GRID Alternatives, Joshua has been able to implement a renewable energy project for his own home. Back in April 2019, GRID installed a 2.75 KW solar PV system on Joshua\u2019s roof. To date, the system has generated more electricity than Joshua\u2019s family has used, meaning that he has been able to meet the power needs of his home and still send out extra electricity to the utility grid to be used by his neighbors. <\/p>\n

\u201cWorking every day with our world\u2019s poorest on sustainable, community-driven solutions to meet their basic needs is an amazing blessing,\u201d Joshua said. \u201cNow I\u2019ve been further blessed with a sustainability project in my own backyard.\u201d <\/p>\n
