The Opportunity for Change
The Impact of Our Initiative:
Somalia/Somaliland faces immense challenges, with approximately 7.7 million people requiring humanitarian assistance in 2022. These challenges persist despite the commendable efforts to help. The unstable situation and lawlessness in Somalia/Somaliland have stymied progress, hindering its potential for growth and development.
At Diaspora Giving Back, we see Somalia/Somaliland not as a bottomless pit reliant on charity but as an emerging economy with significant untapped potential. We’re embarking on a transformative journey. Our vision is to empower Somali lives, providing opportunities for self-reliance through education, entrepreneurship, and improved healthcare made possible by access to sustainable energy.
Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives: By addressing the pressing issue of energy poverty in Somalia/Somaliland, our initiative creates a ripple effect of positive change. By implementing sustainable off-grid PV systems, we bridge the energy gap, igniting economic growth, enhancing education, and improving overall quality of life. Not only do we empower individuals and communities, but we also make strides in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting environmental stewardship.
Pilot Project
Transforming Lives
The Ahmed Family's Story
Our client, Mr. Ahmed, resides in Hargeisa, Somaliland, with his family in a four-bedroom home. He currently grapples with exorbitant energy costs, paying a staggering $0.70 per kWh. This financial burden has forced him to make difficult choices, such as limiting the use of household appliances to save energy costs.
Through our solar energy solution, Mr. Ahmed’s life has the potential to transform dramatically. By providing him with a fixed, affordable monthly payment plan, he gains unlimited access to the electricity he needs, allowing him to operate his household appliances without reservation. For him, this means extending the lifespan of perishable goods through refrigeration, reducing costs, and significantly enhancing his overall quality of life.
Our commitment to bringing accessible and sustainable energy to families like Mr. Ahmed’s underscores the lifechanging impact we aim to achieve. With the support of investors, we can replicate these positive outcomes across entire communities, fostering economic growth and empowering individuals to thrive.
Expected Impact
The expected impact of our pilot project includes improving energy accessibility for the selected communities, enhancing their living conditions, educational facilities, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Additionally, the use of solar energy will reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, benefitting the environment.
Community Engagement:
To ensure the success and sustainability of the pilot project, Diaspora Giving Back collaborates closely with local communities and stakeholders. We involve community leaders and local entrepreneurs to align the project with specific community needs.
