Support our work
We work in partnership with a coalition of leading donors and supporters, whose funding enables us to drive action to benefit those communities around the world that are most impacted by energy poverty and climate change. Our donors share our belief that achieving universal access to sustainable energy lies at the heart of solving the world’s most pressing development and environmental challenges, including poverty, global warming, women’s empowerment, food security and public health.
