Our vision is for a world where everyone has access to clean, renewable, energy.
A world where farmers can sort through their harvest even after the sun sets. Where children can study and realise their dreams. Where midwives can deliver babies safely through the night. And where the planet can breathe a bit easier.
We are working towards a world where the poorest and most remote communities aren’t left behind. Where entrepreneurs have access to the resources they need to expand their businesses, create sustainable income and light up their communities at the same time.

Yet today, 590 million people across sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity. When the sun sets, the working day ends for millions of people. For millions of others, the only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into their lungs and into the earth’s atmosphere.
Without access to clean, renewable energy, the communities we work with are left even more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. But, there is a simple solution that creates instant impact – solar power. We believe that every community across sub-Saharan Africa should have access to clean, safe, solar powered light and electricity.
Our mission is to light up every home, school and clinic in Africa by 2030, using safe, clean, solar power.
Together, we are making light work.
