In July, we launched #REPowerAfrika, a bold and transformative campaign aimed at addressing the pressing need for equitable access to renewable energy across Africa. This initiative is rooted in the understanding that energy is not just about powering homes and businesses—it’s about empowering lives, fostering sustainability, and ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight for a clean, inclusive future.
Since its launch, the journey has been both inspiring and humbling. We’ve had the privilege of working closely with communities directly impacted by the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP)—a controversial project with devastating social, economic, and environmental consequences. These engagements have shed light on the real human cost of fossil fuel dependency: families displaced from their land, livelihoods disrupted, and ecosystems endangered.
A Festive Call to Action
Starting December 1st, we’re launching the #REPowerAfrika festive fundraiser. Where we’ll be sharing first-hand accounts from the very communities impacted by EACOP in Uganda and Tanzania. These are stories of resilience, struggle, and hope—narratives that highlight the human cost of the pipeline and the urgent need for clean, renewable energy solutions. This initiative is a critical step toward achieving our ambitious goal: working hand-in-hand with communities along the EACOP route to power 80 public infrastructures with solar installations by 2025.
This is not just a technical target; it is a commitment to supporting communities in creating sustainable futures for themselves and their children. Solar energy installations will transform lives, providing electricity to power schools, health centres, and businesses while safeguarding Africa’s precious biodiversity.
Why Your Support Matters?
The success of this campaign depends on you. Your generous donations are not just contributions; they are investments in a brighter, cleaner, and more equitable future for Africa. As the Swahili saying goes, “Haba na haba hujaza kibaba”—little by little, we can fill the pot.
When we come together as a global community, great things can happen. Your support will enable us to fund solar projects, translate our content into French and Swahili to foster inclusivity, and ensure every voice is heard in this movement for change.
Inclusivity at the Heart of REPowerAfrika
Inclusivity is at the core of this campaign. We’re committed to sharing our content in English, French, and Swahili to reach as many people as possible across Africa and beyond. This effort reflects our belief that everyone has a role to play in building a sustainable future.
When you come across our posts, please share them far and wide. This journey is not just for us; it’s for everyone who believes in the power of clean energy, resilience, and unity to create meaningful change.
Africa: The Birthplace of Humanity
Africa is not only the birthplace of humanity but also a continent rich in natural and human resources. It has the potential to lead the world in renewable energy solutions. By standing together, we can transform this potential into reality.
