Millions of people around the world lack access to power. Consequently, they are forced to rely on costly alternatives like the burning of kerosene, which leads to indoor air pollution and kills an estimated 2 million people each year. As an umbrella organization, Light Up Malawi will work with existing parties on the ground in Malawi and align with other programs working towards clean energy access and poverty alleviation. Light Up Malawi will focus on identifying benefits for ALL parties and crafting self-sustaining business models. By taking policy head on and all the way up to the top, it will negotiate a mutually beneficial program that will allow the providers of alternative energy solutions to easily run pilot programs with lower tariffs.
