Welcome

Welcome to Renewable World (formerly the Koru Foundation), a registered charity tackling poverty through renewable energy in East Africa, South Asia and Central America.

Working through local partners we support the provision of affordable renewable energy services for poor communities in order to improve livelihoods, health and education. Our work transforms lives!

2012 UN Year of Sustainable Energy for All

Pledge to make a difference in 2012 to help achieve sustainable energy for all.

<>

1.3 billion people have no access to electricity

Lack of access to electricity limits opportunities for people to improve their livelihoods, health and education.

<>

Indoor air pollution is a major killer

Nearly 2 million people every year die from fumes caused by traditional fuels used for cooking, lighting or heating. 

<>

Transforming Lives

Access to energy stimulates trade and enterprise and improves access to health and education opportunities.

<>

Energy for livelihoods

Using energy to pump clean water enables communities to irrigate crops and increase income from agriculture

<>

Energy for health

Access to energy means clinics can keep vaccines, HIV tests and snakebite anti-venom in fridges.

<>

Energy for education

Energy means schools can use IT resources, open later for adult education and children can study in the evenings.

<>

Making a difference together

Renewable World relies on the support of people like you to help us transform lives. Learn more...
