We are proud to announce that we will fund four more solar projects through our Climate Fund this year. We are supporting projects in Syria, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Liberia with a total sum of €205,564.
These new grants add to the multi-year and short-term projects we have already decided to support in 2025, making this year our most impactful yet. Earlier this year, we confirmed funding for four multi-year projects — each exceeding 1.5 million USD — and six smaller projects for a combined amount of 300,000 euros. In addition, we have kept supporting the previously funded, ongoing multi-year projects and several projects in Mali and Myanmar through the Siemenpuu Foundation.
Bringing solar energy to communities in need
- In North-East Syria, we are supporting Un Ponte Per ETS to solarise local water schemes and secure safe drinking water for at least nine remote villages.
- In rural Tanzania, Oikos East Africa is replacing diesel-based water pumps with reliable solar systems to ensure sustained access to clean water for under-resouced communities.
- In the South Kivu Province of the DR Congo, Initiative Humanitaire pour le Développement is installing solar energy at a rural hospital to enable life-saving care, maintain vaccine refrigeration, and secure clean water for both patients and surrounding villages.
- In rural Liberia, Concern Worldwide is equipping two healthcare facilities with solar power to improve medical services after dark and safeguard the cold chain for vaccines.

Help us do more
Each year, we receive many grant proposals from promising projects, but demand still exceeds available resources. We warmly welcome additional support.
You can make a difference by switching to an EKOenergy-labelled energy contract. Our Climate Fund collects a minimum of €0.10 from every megawatt-hour of EKOenergy sold, channeling these contributions directly to carefully selected renewable energy projects in low- and middle-income countries. This mechanism allows EKOenergy users to have a direct impact on communities in need while supporting sustainable development by using renewable energy.
If you are already an EKOenergy user, we always welcome additional contributions to our Climate Fund. Larger corporate users can also participate in selecting projects they support, aligning with their sustainability priorities.
