Addressing Energy Poverty

Energy poverty needs global support and attention. At SolarBuddy we are focused on raising awareness because we know that understanding energy poverty is the first step towards ending it.

The four pillars of energy poverty illustrate the impact energy poverty is having on individuals and our planet. These four pillars help to explain why we need more people, like you, to give your support to help us end energy poverty.

Because we are ending it, one light at a time.

The four pillars of Energy Poverty

Environment

Fuel based lighting leads to the emissions of roughly 190 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
