What Does Renewable World Do? 

Energy powers many of the day to day essentials that so many of us take for granted, from accessing clean water to being able to light our homes and develop agriculture. Unfortunately, many low income communities around the globe do not have access to energy, leading to several issues such as poverty, difficult living conditions and health problems as well as reduced opportunities to connect with others and develop a stable income. 

However, another challenge to overcome is the impact that the energy we use has on our planet. Through our energy use, we are having a hugely detrimental effect on the world around us, with climate change rapidly altering our natural environment and further use of unsustainable energy undoubtedly leading to further environmental devastation. 

Renewable World wants to support communities in accessing energy and developing their businesses, food and water supply and homes, without adding to the growing environmental issues of unsustainable energy use. That’s why they deliver renewable energy-inspired projects (such as using solar power to lift water to remote hilltop communities) and work with a community centred model to help rural communities to access tools and renewable energies to help them live, grow and thrive. 

Renewable World have transformed the lives of over 100,000 people since 2008, and will continue to help rural communities access renewable energy to help both people and the planet. 

What Communities has Renewable World Helped? 

They work around the world in countries where rural communities are in need of renewable energy and resources to develop socially, agriculturally, economically and educationally. They have worked in a number of countries, helping to build community organisations and implement clean energy through installing renewable energy systems. Two countries where they have had a great impact on the local people are Nepal and Kenya. 

Nepal: In 2012 they began working on community projects in Nepal, growing micro-economies in some of the most disadvantaged communities. Using solar and hydram technology, they were able to integrate water pumps so that everyone in the community could enjoy clean water, freeing up 3.2 hours every day for local girls and women who were having to travel to get water  and bringing a 70% increase to their annual household income due to new farming opportunities. Through solar microgrids, Renewable World were also able to implement clean lighting and with biogas they created clean cooking. 

Kenya: Since 2008 Renewable World has been supporting small scale energy projects all over Kenya. Kenya is ranked 142nd in the 2018 Human Development Index (HDI) and many communities suffer from extreme poverty. Renewable World has been able to help provide six remote communities, a total of 64 households and 1, 734 people, to access clean energy via community-owned solar microgrids which use energy from the sun to distribute clean electricity. They also established local community organisations who were trained to manage the microgrids and the new clean electricity. 

What Have Renewable World Achieved? 

They have impacted communities, families and individual lives around the world with their clean energy, water and cooking solutions. Some of their most notable achievements is in the sheer amount of people they have helped through renewable energy. They have: 

• Provided training and access to clean energy to 993 farmers and smallholders
• Given renewable energy and training to 66 schools, clinics and community institutions
• Supplied renewable energy which has mitigated over 2700 tonnes of CO2
• Saved Kenyan households more than 50% of energy expenses through renewable energy 
• Helping to increase the annual income of Kenyan families by nearly 20% 

The impact they have had on rural communities and on the planet is undeniable, and their approach empowers individuals to be able to utilise these renewable energies in a way which benefits their lives, their families and their communities.
