Power a Village

Power a Village (PAV) is a community-centered initiative expanding access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy in unelectrified rural communities in Africa. Through innovative solar solutions, local partnerships, and community-driven approaches, we empower villages that remain underserved by conventional grid infrastructure.

Our work began in Northern Ghana, where close to 50% of rural communities live without electricity. Rooted in the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 7, we combine technology, local ownership, and capacity building to create lasting impact.
