Education and awareness are vital to breaking the cycles of poverty and violence in Zambia and across Africa.

Climate Change and Gender Violence

Climate change is an immediate crisis in Zambia. Severe weather patterns like storms, droughts, and floods lead to food and water shortages, which often exacerbate gender inequality and increase the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV).

The Impact of Energy Poverty

In rural Zambia, many women must travel miles to gather firewood, risking their lives and becoming vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation. Transitioning to solar energy provides these women with safety, autonomy, and the ability to pursue education or economic activities at night.
