who are we? we are an international charity based in uk. we work with local charities and ngos based in asia and africa to bring an end to energy poverty and dependence on dirty fossil fuel across the developing world. why are we doing this. there are 1060 million people in this world who dose not have access to even basic electricity. nearly 600 million in africa alone with another nearly 300 in the indian subcontinent are left to rely on energy sources that are dirty, toxic and expensive. cooking while burning fossil fuel and using kerosene lamps as a light source is a loose-loose scenario for these families as firstly these emits toxic smoke and eats up a massive chunk of the family income and secondly it directly affects their health and lifestyle. children struggles to study with poor light of a kerosene lamp and the work ends with sundown reducing productivity for millions prematurely. we believe in this day and age, this is not acceptable and small little positive changes
