About us
YourPower is a platform that channels resources from well-wishers to drive a positive change in disadvantaged communities by bridging the energy access gap that exists in most developing countries. YourPower works with partners in Africa predominantly to implement programmes that fulfill this vision of availing energy that is adequate, available when needed, reliable, of good quality, convenient, affordable, legal, healthy and safe for all required energy services. Below are our main objectives:
End energy poverty by making power accessible to millions left behind
Promote decarbonisation and energy transition with renewable energy solutions
Protect the environment by reducing tree cutting and biodiversity destruction
HOW
- Subsidized (quasi-free) access to energy solutions for unserved and underserved communities with high potential development impact
- Targeting vulnerable communities in rural and peri-urban areas held up by lack of access with impact on water access, education and health outcomes
- Focusing on residential, schools, healthcare facilities, community centres, small businesses in disadvantaged communities
- Combination of mini-grid solar power with distribution capacity, SHS and PULSE systems (solar plus income-generating equipment)

WHY
- Poor countries and sometimes heavily indebted countries have neglected investment in energy infrastructure in the 30 to 40 years, leading to energy exclusion
- On their own, most developing countries’ governments are unable to implement universal energy access
- Sparsely distributed populations, expensive and uneconomic centralized power supply solutions pose additional challenges for universal access
- Decentralized (distributed) energy systems are the most economical way to bridge energy access gap
- Impoverished populations need a helping hand to tap into the opportunity that distributed energy systems represent for lighting up their communities
ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
By investing in sustainable energy solutions for healthcare facilities in poor communities, YourPower can help improve the quality of healthcare provided in those communities and achieve good health and well-being for the targeted populations.
With over a billion people around the world still without access to electricity, YourPower is a unique platform that contributes to making affordable and clean energy available to millions of people around the globe.
YourPower targets its interventions on rural and peri-urban schools where lack of electricity limits the quality of education that is provided, thereby improving the education outcomes for the schools that benefit from your contributions
Communities that breed haves and have nots cannot thrive into the future. YourPower does its part to reduce inequalities and enable communities to live more sustainably, precisely because access to electricity and solar-powered equipment opens up opportunities in agriculture and better education and health.
By investing in sustainable energy solutions for healthcare facilities in poor communities, YourPower can help improve the quality of healthcare provided in those communities and achieve good health and well-being for the targeted populations.
YourPower is a partner in global climate action as the solutions promoted are all in alignment to fighting global warming by focusing squarely on clean and renewable energy systems to offset the impact of climate damaging sources of energy.
Energy poverty has many negative implications on the people affected by it, including reduced chances of success. By bridging the energy access gap, your contributions to YourPower give disadvantaged communities a fair chance in life, thus reducing inequalities.
