The Situation

In Africa, a population of 620 million people — twice the size of the United States — lives without access to electricity, with a significant portion having never seen a lightbulb.

This Means:

• Nurses are providing care under challenging conditions without light and the absence of refrigeration hinders the storage of vaccines and medicines.
• Only 34% of health facilities have reliable electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa
• Only 35% of students have electricity in their classrooms.
• Students are resorting to candles and kerosene lamps for lighting in their classrooms.
• The lack of energy to pump water from aquifers is depriving people from having access to clean water
• 900 children per day, one child every two minutes, die from water-related illnesses.

Yet, there is plenty of sun. With Israeli solar energy technology, we are committed to solving these challenges. We are combating the lack of clean water, education, hunger and disease.

Project Objectives

Since its inception, Innovation: Africa has completed over 1,000 solar and water projects across 10 African countries impacting the lives of over 5 million people.

1.      Water Projects

Providing access to clean water to an entire village in a remote village in Africa with a population of up to 5,000 costs $65,000. This amount covers drilling, solar pump installation, solar panels, storage tanks, piping spanning up to 8 kilometers, taps, and the construction of a 10-meter tower, complete with Israeli remote monitoring technology.

 Our innovative solar pumps harness the power of the sun to extract water from aquifers situated below the ground, particularly in regions plagued by drought and hunger. These Solar Water Pumping Systems deliver an impressive 15,000 litres of clean water per day to each village. This water supply not onl
