Donations alone cannot eliminate energy-related poverty in Africa. This is only possible if the forces to alleviate the need on the continent itself mature and grow.
Charitable aid projects must develop and accompany these own forces. We are doing this by promoting the development of the local solar economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises are important forces for poverty reduction and job creation.

Our approach: Promote the local solar trade through charitable aid projects and thus create jobs.
