Our Programmes

Our work sits across four connected programme areas. Together they address the same problem from different angles: how to bring clean energy to communities in a way that also creates skills, income, and resilience.

We work to bring reliable clean power to places the grid does not reach or does not serve well. This includes solar home systems for households, mini-grids for communities, and solar power for schools, primary health centres, and small businesses.

We pay particular attention to productive use, meaning energy that supports income, such as powering cold storage, milling, water pumping, and small workshops. Energy that earns its keep is energy that lasts.

An example is solar-powered cold storage for fishing communities, which cuts the fish lost to spoilage and raises what families earn from each catch.

Agrovoltaics places solar generation and farming on the same land. Panels produce electricity while the space beneath and around them supports crops or livestock.

Our pilots test what works for smallholder farmers in Nigerian conditions: which crops do well under partial shade, how to share the cost of the equipment, and how the added power can support irrigation, processing, and storage. The aim is a model that improves both energy access and farm income.

SolarLearn is our education programme in clean energy and green skills. We are starting online, with courses anyone with a phone or laptop can join. Early modules cover energy literacy and responsible energy use, the basics of solar power, and how to run a small green enterprise.

As the programme grows, we will add hands-on, practical training in solar installation and maintenance through partner sites and community workshops, so that learning leads to real work. We design our courses for young people and women in particular.

We help people understand energy and climate, and we bring what we learn into policy. This includes energy-literacy sessions in schools and communities on responsible energy use, energy conservation, and climate awareness, work our executive lead has delivered directly.

We also gather evidence from our programmes and turn it into clear materials for communities, partners, and policymakers, and we take part in the conversations that shape energy and climate policy. Our advocacy is grounded in what we see on the ground, not in slogans.
