2024 And We Going Solar

By Tyrone Bennett | CEO of Action Change

Families Given Portable Solar Packs For Their Home
Families Given Portable Solar Packs For Their Home

Hello Action Changers!

So, our charity is pretty cool because we help communities around the world tackle big problems with the help of our team of experts. What's even cooler is that by addressing one issue, we can actually help with other global problems too and we educate and equip community members and influencers that are already passionate to make bigger changes for their community. 

In Africa, some communities have been dealing with really high energy bills and not enough power from the government. This has led to something called loadshedding, where they have to go without electricity for up to 11 hours a day. Imagine trying to study or work in the dark! It's a real challenge and current country power is still being generated from fossil fuels such as coal power stations.

That's where Action Change comes in (again). Working with a speical funder and solar specialist in the UK we are have been awared 70 solar systems for Africa.These systems are innovative designed and be donated to us in the request that we test the systems and feedback on their usefulness for communities in rural and basic townships acorss Africa. We started providing solar power to families in South Africa and Zimbabwe at the start of this year. So far, we've helped 35 families get solar lights and internet connections, which not only saves them money but also reduces the use of coal power overall in South Africa.

Now, we're gearing up to bring solar power to even more places like schools, farms, and more families. We have the equipment ready to go, but we need to raise $6,000 to cover the costs of installation and safety checks. With your help, we can make sure these communities have access to clean, sustainable energy by June! Let's do this!

Please help us share our amazing story so we can attract new supporters to our project and maybe even get some young people to help setup fundraisers so we can really help these familieis, schools and community farms to move to soalr power!

Thank You for being our supporters!
