Thank Small Business Owners for Helping Poor Communities!

Target: 173 Clean Energy Entrepreneurs Worldwide
Sponsored by: E+CO

Hundreds of everyday people from some of the poorest countries in the world have started small businesses to bring clean energy to their families, neighbors and communities.

Clara M. was struggling to get by in Ghana, Africa - until she came up with a solution to make a better life for herself and thousands of her neighbors.

She reduced the devastating effects of indoor air pollution from charcoal by opening a liquefied petroleum gas station.

Now, Clara’s neighbors have access to modern energy that saves her community money - and maybe even their lives.

Because of 173 entrepreneurs like Clara:

3.3 million tons of CO2 have een offset
4 million people now have access to modern energy services
461,443 tons of firewood and charcoal have been saved and 140 million liters of clean water provided

Say THANKS! to all of the innovative entrepreneurs who have made clean, affordable and environmentally-friendly energy a reality!

deadline: Ongoing...
