Where we work

The African continent encompasses an enormous diversity of cultures, languages and ways of life. However, every second person still has no access to electricity – with serious consequences for education, health and development.

The power of the sun opens up new opportunities: electricity for schools, health stations and small businesses creates prospects and shapes future generations. Africa has some of the best conditions for solar energy in the world – and this is a great opportunity to combine sustainable development with climate protection.

Ethiopia

Solar Learning Ethiopia

Young adults in Ethiopia are building a self-determined future by training in solar technology. They supply schools, health centres and villages with sustainable energy.

Solar Fuels

A center for solar fuels is being established at Adama Science and Technology University. Solar power is used to produce green fuels such as methanol – and train specialists for the energy transition of tomorrow.

Burkina Faso

Santé Solaire

Solar power brings light to rural health centers, which are often the first point of contact for women and children. This makes medical care safer – especially during childbirths and emergencies at night.

Kenya

Solar Learning Youth Centres

In youth centres in Kenya, disadvantaged young people receive training in solar technology with a state-recognised diploma. In this way, they are not only shaping their own future, but also the energy future of their regions.

Solar Learning for Women

Women in Kenya are learning solar technology and gaining new independence. With their knowledge and skills, they bring light to their communities and open doors to new opportunities.

Solar Energy for a Refugee Camp

Solar power is changing lives in the Kakuma refugee camp: A school, a clinic, a water pump and families are supplied with electricity. At the same time, young people are being trained in solar technology.

Niger

Santé Solaire

Solar power brings light to rural health centers, which are often the first point of contact for women and children. This makes medical care safer – especially during childbirths and emergencies at night.

Switzerland

Scouts go Solar Switzerland

Scouts in Switzerland discover solar energy through workshops, experiments and mobile systems. In this way, they are sensitized to climate protection and discover how they themselves can be part of the energy transition.

Senegal

Solar Perspectives

Training in solar technology opens up new opportunities for young people and returned migrants – for local prospects, against the causes of flight and for a sustainable future.

Tanzania

Solar Learning Tanzania

In Mbeya, young people receive practical training in solar technology. This creates income, skilled workers for the growing solar sector and new paths to a sustainable future.

Togo

Santé Solaire

Solar power brings light to rural health centers, which are often the first point of contact for women and children. This makes medical care safer – especially during childbirths and emergencies at night.

Worldwide

Scouts go Solar International

Scouts from all over the world are trained as solar ambassadors. They bring solar energy to their communities with their own projects – promoting education and climate protection.
