Energy is more than just power: it is opportunity. 

Switch it! is a groundbreaking regional crowdfunding initiative by UNDP aimed at empowering women in Africa through sustainable energy solutions. Recognizing the transformative power of energy, we're bringing together five inspiring community-based projects from across the continent.

Switch It! is bringing clean, sustainable energy solutions to women across Africa, unlocking new possibilities for their futures.

From solar kitchens in Angola to cold storage in Chad, tree planting in Burkina Faso, wildlife protection in Zambia, and clean energy for artisans in Botswana, these women are leading the way in transforming their communities.

Now, you can be part of this change. By supporting Switch it!, you are not just investing in a person; you are investing in women's futures and in their families.

Donate today and help us bring clean energy to communities across the continent.
