About Renewable World

1.2 billion People are still living in poverty, inequality is rising, and the world is failing to decarbonise quickly enough to avoid climate disaster. The world’s poorest people contributed little to climate change, yet they are most impacted, and least able to adapt. This is not fair. And it is not sustainable.

RW is a small but rapidly growing International NGO (INGO) helping to improve lives and tackle climate change through clean energy. This growth has been driven largely through programme expansion in Nepal, but RW has been active in Kenya since 2013, working through local partners to install 10 microgrids in the Lake Victoria Region and supporting communities to operate microgrids for household and productive use. Our programmes in Kenya are growing and we are expanding our team accordingly.
