Why Givewatts

What is poverty? What are the effects of being ”off grid” and not having continuous access to electricity?

We believe that giving access to energy alone constitute a vital step in the development. Many people live in rural or urban ”off-grid” areas and rely on charcoal, firewood and kerosene to supply energy. These fuels all have a negative impact on the environment, the health of the user, and the household economy. Installing renewable energy will not only have significant impact here and now, but will also be a step into the future.
