Nonprofit Overview
Causes: International, International Relief
Mission: Our mission is to improve the quality of life in developing communities by pioneering ventures that provide access to sustainable energy technologies. Our vision is light in every home, clean air in every kitchen, and power in every hand.
Programs: Elephant energy trains entrepreneurs in market centers in rural areas of namibia, africa to distribute clean energy technologies, such as solar-powered lights and cell phone chargers. Clean energy technologies save customers money, reduce dependence on dirty fuels like kerosene, help children read and adults work, and allow rural families to communicate outside of their villages, among other benefits. Elephant energy's commission-based entrepreneurs model is ideal for reaching rural customers because the agent, being a part of the community, can readily provide products and information to customers; and the customers purchase the product from someone they know, facilitating a more trusting relationship and effective flow of information. Elephant energy's distribution model also allows for on-going contact and after-sales service, which prolongs the life of each clean energy product. Entrepreneurs also generate income for their families from the products they sell, delivering additional value to their communities. In 2017, elephant energy distributed approximately 2400 clean energy technologies via our distribution network in rural namibia.
