Empower Generation is a social enterprise empowering women to power the world! Supplying clean energy to the 1.3 billion people living without reliable electricity is one of the largest business opportunities of our time, and women are a key to unlocking this potential. We connect clean energy suppliers with women entrepreneurs, providing training and finance to start up and scale businesses, to create a network for clean energy suppliers to access hard-to-reach markets. We also offer loans to help consumers make the switch to solar power.

Promoting the well-being of humanity since 1913. Since our founding, The Rockefeller Foundation has brought people together around the globe to try to solve the world’s most challenging problems and promote the well-being of humanity. Today, in a world capable of so much, it is unacceptable that there are still so many with so little. That’s why The Rockefeller Foundation fights to secure the fundamentals of human well-being—health, food, energy, jobs—so they’re within reach for everyone, everywhere in the world. Our approach is grounded in what we’ve seen work over more than a century: It’s inspired by science, rigorous about data, brings together and empowers others, and is focused on real results that improve people’s lives.
