How You Can Help

Donate

Our non-profit requires people like you to keep it running and help people. Any amount they you can spare will go directly to giving people lights, internet, refrigeration and more.

Spread the Word

Most people are unaware of the energy crisis that has been going on in South Africa for the past 16 years. Spread the word about the crisis and our charity to anyone you know. Be sure to use social media and find us on instagram at @energize_sa to stay informed.
