Renewable World is a registered charity working with local partners in Africa, Asia and Central America to tackle poverty through enabling the provision of affordable small-scale renewable energy systems (solar, wind, hydro and biogas) for remote, off-grid communities. Energy provision improves health through the use of clean lighting and cooking sources, and because clean water can be pumped direct to households. Healthcare is more accessible because clinics can keep vaccines, and other vital medicines in fridges. Education is improved as children can study in the evenings, and schools can open later for adult education. Access to energy enables communication and trade, supports the establishment of new income generating ventures and stimulates enterprise.
Renewable World’s unique relationship with the UK and European Renewable Energy industry allows us to leverage funds, skills, expertise and resources to support and develop our work.
