Our approach - "It's like a new life"
Statement from a resident of the solar village Rema
One fundamental basis for any social development is the reliable availability of affordable and clean energy. Especially in rural areas where no power network is available.
As forms of energy, oil, coal and gas cannot meet this challenge: From a technical point of view, they are unsuitable for the scattered settlements of Africa. In addition, the world’s supplies are waning and they would plunge a country into a new economic dependency upon energy imports.
A power supply must therefore be based on the sun if it is to make practical sense and be planned for the long term. Only in this way will it be possible to alleviate, on a long-term basis, the poverty due to a lack of energy and create the basis for a positive social and economic development.
Solar development aid also offers great advantages for Europe: Political and economic stability in Africa means fewer refugees, less famine as well as less armed conflict and terror.
We go where there is no power network. Where people live without light.
Where solar light enables a new life.
