SolarBuddy

SolarBuddy is an impact organisation uniting a global community to illuminate the futures of all children.
We strive to provide opportunities for all children and believe that for future generations to thrive, we must create a world where no-one is left behind.

One of the biggest obstacles we face is extreme energy poverty; one of the worst forms of poverty that hardly anyone knows about. It is a complex challenge, impacting the health and wellbeing, educational outcomes, and economic stability of the communities experiencing it as well as our environment.

Energy poverty plunges 660 million people worldwide into complete darkness, every night as they lack equal access to clean energy. They depend on primitive forms of energy like charcoal and firewood to ignite their way through the night. These forms of energy have a devastating impact on their health, well-being, economic stability, educational outcomes and the environment.
