• Africa, Asia & Central America• Poverty alleviation through renewable energy• Small scale sustainable renewable energy
systems – wind, solar, biomass, hydro• Capacity building at a local level
World Energy Stats
UN Sustainable Energy for All 2011
One out of every five people on earth (1.3bn) live without access to electricity
2.7bn people do not have access to clean cooking facilities
2 million people die annually from by products of charcoal, coal or animal waste
95% of these people live in Sub Saharan Africa or developing Asia
The Problem
Over 70% living below poverty line
Remote off grid locations
Almost totally reliant on fishing for food and income
No Control over Market Prices
Limited or no access to clean water
Reliant on dirty fuels

Project Outcomes• 30% increase in market price of Nile Perch due
to ability to store 1,500kgs / 3 days catch• 10 – 30% increase in annual income / $325 per
year per BMU member• Use of rechargeable lights for boats sold by ex
kerosene traders• Income diversification to crop production• Massive health impact
