Current Actions
Our Strategy
- 1Power: We work to bring renewable energy to sub-Saharan Africa, where 55 percent of the population has no access to electricity. We also seek to expand Africa’s role in the voluntary carbon market space, turning to Africa’s abundant natural resources.
- 2Food: We believe school meals are the most reliable social safety net, and are supporting nutritious meals, often sourced from local produce grown through regenerative methods.
- 3Health: We aim to strengthen community health systems with data-driven decisions. By leveraging health data, advocating for investment in climate-health initiatives, and supporting effective adaptation plans, we build capacity for climate-resilient health systems. We also foster collaboration across health, environment, and finance sectors to achieve health equity for all.
