Bloomfield, N.J. — The Energy Cures Campaign, a grassroots social and environmental call-to-action, launched across the world to stop the cycle between poverty, dirty energy and its drastic affect on the environment. Providing a simple platform to support the renewable energy efforts of developing countries, Energy Cures hopes to create an opportunity to get involved with a solution that benefits both people and the planet. By advancing the accessibility of modern energy solutions for the world's impoverished, Energy Cures is designed to break the cycle of poverty and diminishes dirty energy's contamination of both the environment and global economies.

By visiting EnergyCures.org, people make tax-deductible contributions directly financing entrepreneurial efforts of poverty-stricken nations and their quest to establish clean, renewable energy sources.

Worldwide, 1.6 billion people are without any access to electricity, with an additional 2.4 billion people subjected to rely on dirty fuels for every day use. Typically, dirty energy sources are all that is accessible to impoverished nations. Releasing dangerous particles into the atmosphere, not only does the consumption of this energy have a negative environmental and health impact, there is a significant social-economic one as well.

"Statistics show that if a child stays home to collect firewood for cooking, instead of going to school, it is most likely their child will also be forced into a similar reality," says Gina Rodolico of Energy Cures and director of communication for E+Co, the non-profit organization behind the campaign. "And if this child's mother spends four hours of every day hauling water for her family's daily use, the chances for escaping poverty practically vanish. But by investing in local, clean energy entrepreneurs and their businesses, we can develop a sustainable solution to multiple challenges"
