Our fundraising is underway

It's been a busy week here in London. It's been wonderful to have Pedro, Ricardo and German from the Avina Foundation visiting us. As you'll remember, the Avina Foundation are a leading South American organisation and they are helping us set up our solar programme in the region.

So we went to Cardiff in Wales on Tuesday to meet Peter Davies, Vice Chair (Wales) of the UK Sustainable Development Commission, and John Pontin from the Converging World, an excellent organisation that is driving ahead with wind power for developing countries with a pioneering model of contraction and convergence.

We also had a meeting with a new foundation based in Wales that funds projects tackling climate change and poverty around the world. We'll be applying to them for some initial funding to help us get the project going.

However, it's unlikely we will manage to get all the funding we need from trusts and foundations, which is why your help is so urgently needed. So please click on the 'support' button and donate!
