The initiative was spearheaded by organizations such as the Italian Cultural and Recreational Association (ARCI), the Italian National Confederation of Labor, and the Italy-Cuba National Friendship Association, along with social and labor groups.
The funds will bring photovoltaic energy to institutions in Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, Granma, and Havana, amid the country’s ongoing energy crisis. According to the organizers, the projects will directly and indirectly benefit some 800,000 people, especially in sectors related to health.
Solar panels have become a key alternative for numerous Cuban institutions due to fuel shortages. The delegation will remain in Cuba until September 30 and also plans to deliver medicines, school supplies, and other resources to community organizations.
Meanwhile, representatives of the “Energy for Life. Let’s Light Up Cuba” movement were received at the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), where they met with local authorities and organizations.

ARCI President Walter Massa affirmed that the campaign will continue and noted that participants will share their experiences regarding the economic and energy situation facing the island with Italy.
During a meeting with the delegation, President Miguel Diaz-Canel highlighted the historic ties of friendship between Cuba and Italy and expressed his gratitude for the support provided by Italian civil society organizations.
The president noted that the benefits of the campaign can already be seen in health centers, cultural facilities, and production entities. The visit includes members of the European Parliament, national parliamentarians, and representatives of Italian associations.
The delegation advocated for continued solidarity and cooperation between the two nations and expressed its intention to promote new support initiatives related to energy, health, and community development.
